About Nikki

Nikki moved around a lot as a kid, so she really isn’t from any place in particular. Her family lived in the US and abroad, moving from place to place with something close to reckless abandon. Nothing much ever stayed the same, but usually they ended up in warm climates with lots of dogs and a horse or two. She came to San Francisco after some post-college traveling, and ten years later she thinks she might have finally found “home.” Not too long ago she finished grad school at San Francisco State University, where she earned degrees in English and Creative Writing, and is currently busily mapping out her future.

Check out the project she's been collaborating on that showcases artists in their studios— it's an intimate look into their space, process, and influences, and reveals behind-the-scenes elements that are often unseen in the finished artwork:
