About Niki Peach
Niki's artistic journey began at a young age, where her natural creativity and passion for art led her to embark on a fulfilling career in the creative industry. At just 16, she took her first steps into the art world at the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, immersing herself in the study of traditional drawing and painting through live figure studies and life studies. It was during this formative period that Niki's talent was recognized with several awards and scholarships, fueling her determination to pursue her artistic passions.
Her dedication to both her craft and sharing her knowledge led her to become a youth art instructor at the Fort Lauderdale Art District, at just 18 years old, where she had the privilege of working alongside her mentor, Daina Stabulniece, inspiring and nurturing budding artists.
Continuing her artistic journey, Niki pursued higher education at Ringling College of Art & Design, where she delved into various media outlets, with a particular focus on videography and filmmaking. However, her love for fine art remained steadfast, and she expanded her repertoire to include digital art forms such as illustration and graphic design. She graduated with honors from Ringling and received her degree in the form of a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
In 2019, Niki ventured into the world of freelance graphic design, embracing the challenge with the mantra "I can design anything." Her freelance endeavors allowed her to showcase her versatile skill set and passion for bringing creative visions to life.
Today, Niki has further expanded her professional horizons to include digital marketing, website design, branding, and content creation. She channels her expertise and unique blend of fine arts background and digital media knowledge into her role at a leading digital marketing agency, where she helps businesses elevate their brand presence and engage their audience effectively.
With her keen eye for design, coupled with her rich background in fine arts and proficiency in digital media, Niki is adept at crafting custom materials tailored to suit the individual needs of her clients.
