Hello There!

I'm Nikki Ernst, a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator. My work moves across branding, publishing, art direction, and beyond, and each discipline informs the next, what I learn in one space always finds its way into another, making the whole of my work stronger and more intentional.

Alongside my design practice, I’m also a collage artist/illustrator. That tactile, hands-on approach is where a lot of my instincts come from: layering, composing, and finding unexpected harmony in contrast. It’s a practice that keeps me grounded.

I’m looking to grow within projects and teams that value thoughtful branding, editorial thinking, and strong visual storytelling ~ where ideas are built with care and craft, from concept to execution.
