Hello there! I'm Nikki Ernst, a collage illustrator and designer based in Toronto. I spend my days happily snipping, sticking, and designing pieces that are as sentimental and meaningful as they are fun and vibrant. My style is a vibrant mashup of illustration and collage. I love the textural quality that comes from layering different elements—it gives the image history and depth.

My inspiration comes from all the little moments in life, and, of course, the musical artists who are the fuel to my working sessions.

I've evolved into a well-rounded designer with a commitment to pushing boundaries and infusing every single project with the storytelling elements that are so essential to connecting with people.

Ready to make something cool together? I would absolutely love to collaborate on your next branding project, packaging design, or editorial work! Let's transform your ideas into a memorable visual narrative.
