Nicole Kiki Jaffe is a graphic designer, web developer, and illustrator in Los Angeles. She enjoys working on projects with art and cultural organizations, small businesses, non-profits, artists, musicians, writers, and filmmakers.

In 2014, she and Roman Jaster co-founded Yay Brigade, a studio specializing in web development and publication design. Branching out on her own in 2018, she founded her new studio, Piknik Press, with a focus on working with great artists, good people, and clever companies.

When she’s not designing, Nicole can be found singing and playing guitar in her band, dancing at the Sweat Spot, swaying in the front row at a show, knitting, thinking about food, or watching Rupaul’s Drag Race.
