After college, I dove headfirst into the corporate world of marketing, outpacing my peers and ascending the career ladder rapidly. Before I knew it, I was making more money than I ever imagined, and truly thought I had hacked the system.
However, in 2023, I faced the unexpected setback of being laid off from my Director of Marketing position (at 28 years old) at a tech company. Despite securing a corporate role a few months later, I realized I still wasn’t happy, and needed to make an extreme change.
In the fall of 2023, I took the leap and launched my own business. The response was overwhelming – I sold out my beta offer and generated $10,000 in just two weeks. Balancing my design business with my 9-5 job meant working grueling 14-hour days and weekends, but I was determined to make my entrepreneurial venture a success.
Setting a goal to leave my corporate job within six months, I achieved it in just four months. Since then, I've continued to thrive, selling out subsequent launches and doubling my previous corporate salary. With over seven years of freelancing experience and a background in marketing, I understand not only how to design but also how to market a design business effectively.
I respect her in this space so much so signing up for her mentorship was a no brainer for me... and I'm so grateful I had the opportunity. I now feel confident in showing up on social, confidence in my back end systems, and just excited for all that I can do and for what my business will look like in the future!
I anticipated general guidance, but Nikki’s ability to tailor the program to my specific needs and where I was in my business truly stood out. Every session felt customized and relevant, which made the experience incredibly impactful. Honestly, I can’t think of any aspect that fell short of my expectations; it was a truly valuable experience

My overall experience working with Nikki was incredibly valuable. She has a unique ability to meet you exactly where you are in your business, providing personalized support that truly makes a difference. Her guidance brought clarity to the overwhelming aspects of running a business and simplified my goals, helping me stay focused and on track. Nikki’s expertise and the accountability she provided were exactly what I needed to move forward with confidence. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor.
The homework she provided helped me take immediate action and having the accountability was priceless. I'm truly shocked at how good I feel after this and how I feel like I can finally scale my business.
