Hi, I’m Nikki Always

Hi,
I’m Nikki Always

I'm a compulsive problem solver who believes in creative solutions grounded in human truths.

Currently creating digital campaigns with a conceptual angle that always starts from a human experience, often resulting in high performance. I am now looking to pair this skill with my ability to conceptualize on a larger scale, creating ideas with more cultural impact at a full-service agency in Minneapolis.

Open to Mid-Sr Art Director roles

I’m always up for meeting new people or reconnecting with past friends! If you’re in San Francisco, I’d love to grab a cup of coffee IRL. If you’re not local, the magic of a video chat works for me, too.

I look forward to chatting soon!
