SOCIAL PROOF

Working with Nikki has been monumental in building the structure of my business. Making pivots in your business structure can be scary and vulnerable, but she came alongside me and helped me build out really solid tools and resources which are giving me the confidence to launch this new idea. She took what to me was a brain dump, and pieced all of it together in a cohesive framework. I feel really empowered to take this next step in business after our session. 

– Jillian Dolberry, 90-minute Session

Working with Nikki has been the best decision I've made in my business this year and has been completely worth every penny of the investment. She feels more like a partner in my business - she is always looking for opportunities to add value and she treats my business like her own. She always goes the extra mile and has been so agile at supporting me and my business as it has grown. I can't imagine running my biz without her!

– Jen Beattie, Premier Consulting

I'm feeling much more confident in beginning to build my team in a way that's strategic and forward-thinking! It was great to learn from Nikki's experience the roles and responsibilities that are typical of design studio employees/contractors.
