Whether you're gearing up to ditch the 9–5 and go all in on your design business, or you’ve already made the leap but feel stuck in trial-and-error mode, the Banter Business Lab is where your next level begins.
This isn’t about doing it alone. Inside the lab, you’ll join a small crew of creative minds experimenting, evolving, and scaling together. I’ll be your mad lab instructor guiding you through the messy middle, the “what do I even do next?” spirals, and the systems that actually work.
Bring your big goals. Bring your stuck spots. Leave with clarity, confidence, and a design business built to last.
Step into the lab, ditch the chaos, and start running your creative business like the Lead Scientist CEO you’re meant to be
You’ve got clients, but everything behind the scenes feels messy and unscalable.
You know your work is worth more, but you’re undercharging or second-guessing your pricing.
You’re winging it without a marketing strategy or smooth client systems.
You want to feel confident and in control — like a real business owner, not just a freelancer.
hear from previous Lab STUDENTS
Nikki is so insanely smart in this space. Every single question I had, she had answers to. 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!
"Nikki's guidance brought clarity to the overwhelming aspects of running a business and simplified my goals, helping me stay focused and on track.
Her 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."
not that it matters but....
After leading marketing at a tech company and being laid off at 28, I realized I was done building someone else’s dream. I wanted to build mine — and help other creatives do the same.
In fall 2023, I launched my first offer and made $10K in two weeks — while still working my 9–5. Four months later, I quit my job and went full-time. Since then, I’ve doubled my corporate income, launched three sold-out beta offers, and built a studio that’s booked out with aligned clients.
In short: I’ve tested the formulas, streamlined the workflows, and built the systems. Now I’m handing over the lab notes so you can do the same — without burning out or second-guessing yourself.

"My experience with the Banter Business Lab mentorship program was amazing.
I walked away with so much clarity, real strategies I could actually use (not just theory), and a whole lot more confidence in running my business. It pushed me in the best way, and I always felt supported. 20/10, would sign up again!
"I was able to dial my business in to focus more on the clients I love to serve and how I can best help them.
I also was able to break down my entire backend system from inquiry to onboarding to the design process to offboarding and really optimize my entire client experience while also saving more of my time in the future by automating a lot of my processes now."
