In my own words
— NikiI am a recenet graduate of the Art Institute of Califonia, San Diego.
Graduating with my BFA in Fashion design.
Growing up in Hawai'i plays a huge role in my design style. My passion is swim and beach lifestyle apparel, but I love all active wear and adventure lifestyle apparel.
I have experience in both sides of the industry working retail, management, visuals and buying, social media management as well as design process. I love technical design, textile and surface design, Graphic design, CAD work and am a bit of a fabric nerd.
I also teach creative workshops like Shibori, Block Printing, Macrame and Weaving.
