A bit about me.

Hi, I’m Niki.
Website + graphic designer, educator and digital strategist.
I love a challenge. To tackle complexity head-on. My mind goes instantly into all the ways that I can simplify the task at hand, or weave the various elements to allow a project to come together in an organized manner.
And I love to help others to do the same.
What I’ve been up to, in my working life:
WEBSITES
With over 25 years of experience building websites, I’ve helped small and medium-sized businesses establish a strong online presence.
My approach is flexible, collaborating with you in the way that works best for your needs.
Every site I create is thoughtfully structured, professionally branded, and designed to deliver an outstanding user experience. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life and make your business shine online.
TEACHING
Sharing knowledge and empowering others is at the heart of what I do. I lead courses, workshops, and talks designed to help you confidently build your own website and develop effective digital strategies.
With over a decade of teaching experience, I’ve taught WordPress and Adobe Illustrator at Camosun College, Global Digital Communications at Royal Roads University, and developed a personal branding e-course for the Gustavson School of Business at UVic.
Teaching is my passion—I love helping others unlock their potential and succeed online!
YEARS OF BUSINESS
With over 30 years of running multiple businesses (including retail, design, and manufacturing) I am very connected to what you need as a business owner.
Ways you can work with me:

Take my online course to DIY your website.
Ready to take control and create your own website?
My step-by-step online course will guide you through every stage of building a thoughtful, professional WordPress site—from start to finish.
I keep the process straightforward and approachable, so you’ll never feel overwhelmed. And if you’re curious to dive deeper, I’ve included plenty of optional resources and insights for those who want to explore beyond the basics.
Roll up your sleeves and let’s bring your website vision to life—together!

Hire me.
I offer two ways to partner on your project: the traditional hands-off approach, or my favorite—a collaborative process.
In our collaborative projects, I handle the technical work while we schedule focused “power sessions” to make key creative decisions together. This approach is not only more enjoyable, but it also ensures your website truly reflects your vision—eliminating guesswork and resulting in something uniquely yours.
