About

I never believed you had to choose.

I'm Nikki. I spent 20 years building brands for other people. Now I build, and back, my own, made for people who won't trade who they are for someone else's definition of success.

I've always noticed what runs under the surface. The undercurrents in a room, the why beneath what someone does, the way a place quietly shapes who you get to be. It's how I've read people, and places, and every business I've built.

I'm equal parts strategist and free spirit, spreadsheet and intuition. For a long time I thought I had to choose. I don't, and neither do you. That refusal is the throughline of everything I build.

In my twenties, with no real plan, I left on a feeling. Three years in Florence, nearly five in Sydney, 16 countries somewhere in between.

It taught me the thing I now build everything on: where you are changes who you get to be. Your nature and your environment aren't at odds. You become most yourself where the two line up.

I'm not here to spend my days building other people's dreams when I've got big ones of my own. I'm building mine now, and proving you can hold the ambition and the ease at once, without trading either away.

I've spent real money on coaches, courses, and programs that were nothing like what I needed. So I stopped looking for the thing that would fit, and built it instead: the strategy I wish I'd had, shaped to the person rather than a template.

That's the idea under everything I make. I read the whole picture, the person and the business at once, through sociology and through astrology and Human Design, and it always points to the same place: build from who you actually are, and let the work fund the life instead of consuming it.

The track record

Two decades of building for other people taught me exactly what I now build for myself. The proof came first. The alignment came later.

In their words
Nikki is a unique talent with the ability to move freely between brand development and strategy through to high-paced tactical marketing across different mediums. She is values driven and pours her energy into meeting the needs of her clients whilst also elevating their expectations. I can confidently recommend her not only as a high-quality operator with a broad and deep technical skillset, but also as a fantastic teammate.
Dr Patrick A.Founder & CEO, health-tech, Sydney
We were fortunate to have Nikki consulting with our travel business in Florence. She is a brilliant all-rounder, able to step in and step up to all the challenges of a small business, with a great positive energy that's a pleasure to be around. She also has a great graphics eye and can transform the image of a business. It's rare to find all these qualities in one person.
Rose M.Founder, travel company, Florence
She transformed the business's marketing capabilities in a short period of time and set it up for success into the future. I can't recommend Nikki more highly to get the job done. Not only her work ethic, but Nikki is an amazing person, who was a pleasure and a joy to have in the office. She would be an asset to any team.
Tony M.Customer Success Manager, Boomi
I have worked with consultants before, but they were always so generic. This was completely different: Nikki has actually been in similar professional positions, so she could talk with authenticity on the details instead of being vague and high-level.
Claire K.Strategic communications adviser
Getting a fresh pair of eyes on my business was exactly what I needed. Nikki pointed out things I'd overlooked simply because I'm so in my business that I didn't see it.
Leslie S.Photographer
I love Nikki's warmth and intuitiveness. Even in such a short period, she gave me a lot of clarity around my business message, and how I can serve my clients in a way that's true to me.
Amanda S.Founder, personal styling practice
We had an outstanding experience with Nikki and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to build a business with purpose.
