About Me

Hello,

• I'm Nikkia. I'm a fine artist and illustrator at heart who found her way in brand identity and UX research by a complete accident.

• Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Adobe XD, Media Encoder, Dimension, Figma, Miro, Keynote, Squarespace, Traditional Illustration.

Profile

• I paint, I draw, I cross-stitch and I bring that same talent to every project I touch. I'm early in my career and hungry to experience everything the field has to offer.

• I'm just getting started. I don't have all the answers yet but I know how to research, how to listen, and how to make things that actually mean something to the people they're made for.
