About Me
Hi, I'm Nikki. And I've always had a thing for good design, interesting people, and ideas that don't quite fit the mold. Lucky for me, I get to bring all three together for a living.
I'm the designer and strategist behind The Foundation Studio, with more than a decade of experience building visual identities.
Real estate wasn't exactly part of the original plan. It found its way into my design world one project at a time, and somewhere along the way, it stuck.
And honestly, I love how it worked out.
I've gotten to know the industry, the people in it, and what it takes to build a business within it. But what keeps things interesting is that no two agents do it quite the same way.
That's what I love about the work. I get to bring a fresh creative perspective to an industry I know well, without designing the same thing over and over again.
You do things differently. So do I.
For the not-so-typical agent.
Something tells me we'd get along if...
You're not afraid of a little personality.
You love a good color palette, an unexpected pattern, or a font with some character. Your business should feel like you, not every other agent in town.
You look beyond real estate for inspo.
You find inspiration in all kinds of places and aren't particularly interested in doing something just because everyone else is doing it.
You get the bigger picture.
You see the value in building something thoughtful and cohesive, and you're willing to put the time and resources into getting it right.
You're open to trying something unexpected.
You have ideas, opinions, and a willingness to explore. You don't need to know exactly what you want, but you're excited to see where a little creativity takes things.
You care about the little things.
You take pride in your business, pay attention to the details, and want everything you put out into the world to feel considered.
You have fun doing what you do.
You take your work seriously, but that doesn't mean everything has to be so serious. There's room for personality, playfulness, and a little weirdness along the way.
"The whole process was worth every penny. I got so much more than a brand design."
"I walked away with confidence in my brand strategy and design. I have keywords that help me articulate what makes me unique and who my ideal clients are. There is NO way I could have done this on my own and had as fantastic of an outcome as I have now.”

"It was literal magic how she made our brand come to life."
"I remember sitting down with her for the presentation… it was unbelievable. It was literal magic how she made our brand come to life. I get goosebumps just thinking about it."
