    About Nikki D.

    My name is Nico and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching art, sewing, theater, and fashion classes since 2014. I work as a freelance costume designer and theater technician. I also teach Technical Theater through a nonprofit after school program. I love to help my students learn about theater and the history and process of costume design. I am background checked and fingerprinted by the Department of Education. I am a member of the National Art Education Association, The Teaching Artist Guild, and the Brooklyn Arts Council. I am also currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Social and Environmental Art Practice. I went to Parsons School of Design and earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Fashion and Costume Design in 2013. I also studied Fashion & Accessories Design and Illustration at the University of the Arts London. I will help you make your skills work for you, to express your unique sense of creativity. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
