As an independent designer, I have the opportunity to work with a variety of clients in many disciplines. I work with brands to create their logo and brand identity.

Hey, I’m Nikki Machado! I’ve been working as a designer since 2007 and took the entrepreneurial jump to work for myself in 2018. Branding and identity design are where I shine. Exhibit, event, and layout design are some of my other favorites. I studied graphic design at Cleveland State University and after graduating have worked in a print shop, small design studio and a corporation as an in-house designer.

Most of my childhood was spent cutting up books and magazines to create unique mood boards, or using Kraft paper to cover all of my school books so that I could draw all over them. I have always had a passion for combining color, texture, typography, and photography to convey a specific message.

In my free time, you will find me with my daughters, Milena and Iris, husband, Jimmy, and sausage dog, Blair. We love exploring new places and planning our next travel adventure. We always have a creative project in the works, whether it is doing a photoshoot, knotting macrame or a home improvement DIY.
