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
I have been building websites since 1998, working with small to medium-sized businesses, to help them to create a great online presence. I do this by working with you in the exact manner that suits you. I always build sites that are strategically structured, branded well, and deliver a great user experience.
TEACHING
I teach courses, workshops and give talks to help others feel confident to DIY your own website and strategy.
Over the past 10 years I’ve taught WordPress & Adobe Illustrator at Camosun College, Global Digital Communications at Royal Roads University, and I have developed an e-course for Uvic Gustavson School of Business to walk them through building an effective “personal branded” website.
I can’t help it, I love teaching!
YEARS OF BUSINESS
With over 25 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.
If you are excited to roll up your sleeves to create your own website – my online course will guide you through every single step, start to finish, to create a well thought-out website using WordPress.
I keep it “simple-enough” but also include extended considerations for those who want to go down the rabbit holes of their curiosity! deeper.
Hire me.
There are two ways that I work with clients these days – we can go the traditional route, but i much prefer a collaborative project. When I say collaborative I mean I do the work, but we have dedicated “power-sessions” where we make some critical creative decisions together. I have found it to be much more fun and have always found that you (the client) end up with something that suits your vision, rather that allowing too much guess-work.
