Meet Nikki :: Principal Designer, Creative Director, Print Nerd
In first grade, Nikki had to ask how to spell 'entrepreneur' so she could write down what her dad did. From tricycle riding in the driveway to rollerblading through the office warehouse, she watched her father build an empire by obsessing over details. If you’re going to do something, do it right was the mantra she saw played out in every business card and product display.
Possibly like you, Nikki did not intend to go into business herself - but the demand for her work kept her so busy after design school that she never had a chance to apply at an agency. Also possibly like you, she can’t shut her brain off from solving the latest puzzle at work.
She has studied and worked in New York, Los Angeles, Italy, and San Diego, at places like Parsons, ArtCenter College of Design, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. This is her 15th year in business at Akula Kreative.
People come for her modern aesthetic. They stay when they realize her work is layered with meaningful details. She also includes things you don’t even know you need yet in your final delivery.
Just wait. Two years from now, you’ll check your folder and find the exact file you need. (Huzzah!)
Hire us early.

Wait until you see your first draft.
