Nikki McKnight (she/her) is an operations and systems strategist for creatives who want to develop operations & systems that create industry-leading experiences for their clients.

With over 15 years in operations, Nikki's superpower is making the complex simple, whether she's building high-performing teams, upgrading communication processes, or quietly geeking out over experience design.

When she’s not orchestrating logistical magic, she reads queer romance novels, builds Lego sets, and co-hosts the romance podcast "[First Dates & Soulmates](https://firstdatesandsoulmates.substack.com/)"—because successful millennials need hobbies too, right?
