About me

I’m Nikki. I love nature, beauty, and thoughtful design. I’m an adventurous artist at heart, with an engineer’s mind for problem-solving. Over time, I’ve learned how to balance creativity and logic—and I’ve found my sweet spot bridging the gap between dreamy visionaries and practical taskmasters.

My experience is both thorough and varied. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from Northeastern University, specializing in environmental remediation and water quality research. I later worked in Civil Engineering as a land development consultant, drafting digital designs and calculating stormwater management plans. Most recently, I earned my Permaculture Design Certification from Oregon State University and currently contract as a Technical Service Provider (TSP) with the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), supporting landowners with conservation planning and grant funding. Through the years, I’ve worked on properties focusing on organic food production, animal husbandry, natural building, soil regeneration, and water management. Together, these experiences allow me to approach projects with environmental awareness, technical rigor, and real-world practicality across disciplines.

After living and working on many different homesteads and farms, I observed a pattern that inspired Divine Design Solutions. The pattern consists of landowners who made rushed or uninformed decisions to start a project. Over time, gaps in their grand plans compounded, transforming feasible projects into overwhelming burdens. It pains me to observe this scenario time and time again- I believe that it doesn’t have to be this way. All projects can be started or rehabilitated for success with the help of fresh eyes, realistic goal setting, meticulous planning, and follow through.

Whether you’d like to pick my brain or receive a full design plan, I’m excited to work with you and learn about your dreamy and practical projects!
