Nikki graduated from Cornell University in 2021 with a double major in Philosophy and Information Science. At Cornell, she had a lightbulb moment reading “The Design of Everyday Things” for a class assignment. She realized:

“It’s all design! Everything I love - it’s design.”

Her passion for design led her back to NYC to the city to pursue an MFA in Industrial Design at Parsons. While attending Parsons, she won an NYCxDesign award, showed work at ICFF, and organized an independent show with her cohort.

After graduating fron Parsons School of Design in 2023, Nikki began working as a furniture designer at Jouffre, a boutique custom upholstery atelier.

Nikki takes immense joy in creating; in seeing a real, tangible thing where only material and potential once was..
