Her latest short film, Cycle, was selected and screened at The Big Apple Film Festival, Nevada Women’s Film Festival, Grand Rapids Film Festival, East Lansing Film Festival, and BreakOut Media Festival in LA.

Her visual art has been featured in exhibitions, publications, and in public ad campaigns. She is devoted to her personal artistic practice, constantly building and creating, along with her commissioned work.
Niki's Instagram features fashion and self-portrait photography, which developed as a hobby during COVID-19 isolation when collaborating in the arts was halted.
She received numerous grants for her experimental autobiographical short film, Disrupted, which she wrote and performed in. This piece is her passion as she continues to develop its next phase. (more info on FILM page)
