who is ickysailor
My name is Nikki, and no- it's not a nickname. ickysailor comes from my first and middle name, Nikki Taylor.
I basically grew up online! I’ve been fascinated by computer graphics ever since I first saw an After Dark screensaver on a Windows 98 PC.
As a kid, I spent countless hours designing MySpace and Gaia Online profiles, coding Freewebs and Neopets pages, and creating graphics for bulletin boards and forums. I taught myself how to design and code through experience and experimentation.
What else did I do? I loved creating digital art. Character designs, digital paintings, and the occasional Flash experiment (remember Flash?) I even learned ActionScript so I could build simple games. Flash also allowed me to take my first steps into motion graphics.
My first “grown-up” job put me in charge of a business and a team. I learned how to analyze performance, track metrics, and make data-driven decisions. Those experiences gave me the additional tools I needed to commit to freelance design.
I’ve always been a digital creator.
