I’m Nikki

I am an illustrator, designer, and author based in Brooklyn. My primary materials are brush and ink, and I create stories that symbolize emotions and interconnected ecosystems. My work is informed by my research of biology, herbalism, and activism.

I hold an MFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. My first book, Sentient Sidewalk: Lessons From New York City’s Wild Medicinal Plants, has been recognized by American Illustration and 3x3 International Illustration. My clients include TIME Magazine, the ACLU, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. I enjoy working on books, editorials, animations, murals, brand identities, and multimedia experiences.
