In a Nut Shell
If you ask Nikki what she does… “I am the steward of the creative idea.  It’s my job to bring it to life.”

Nikki has the unique experience of doing integrated production before there ever was such a thing.  She began at a small agency in San Francisco responsible for art and print buying.  When the agency grew, so did the production needs, and she quickly found herself responsible for broadcast and business affairs.  As time went on at different agencies, vendors and clients across the US and Canada, it wasn’t just about photographs, ink on paper and TV screens.  She has also produced for the web, created a pop-up store in NY City, fabricated trade shows, curated music for a mobile app, did a 3D mapping installation before the equipment was in the US, sampled hot food items on the streets, conducted and directed a 24-hour, live, web-streaming demonstration…while managing a stable of producers and running internal operations.

Not much shakes her.  Don’t be afraid to ask her for something outlandish.  It’s likely she already knows how to get it done.

She is the owner of CityBorder LLC, a fully insured company that allows clients and agencies flexibility for small motion, still productions and talent needs.

Integrated/Content Production • Motion Picture • Art Buying • Live Event/Experiential • Trade Show •  Print Buying • Business Affairs • Celebrity Negotiation • Line Production • Project Management • Agency Internal Operations.

What Do People Who Have Worked with Nikki Want You To Know About Her?
Andy Taylor, ATO: Nikki is a consummate pro.  She has years of agency and production experience across large and small productions.  She understands how to get the most out of a budget, and how to make any sized production successful, in every sense of the word.  But most of all, the reason Nikki is a great producer, is that she loves the people as much as she loves the process.  And that is what sets her apart as one of the best producers I know.

Jeff Downie, Downie Photo Studio: Nikki gets the job done! No matter the size or complexity, she takes the job from start to finish with the utmost care.  We have worked with her on multiple occasions and her tireless efforts always provide a amazing experience for our team and clients.  She is my first call especially on tough projects with tight deadlines.  She always makes it happen!
