LEADERS BEHIND THE SCENES WITH NIKKI CRUZ

Written by Hildur Arsaelsdottir

IN OUR LATEST SERIES OF LEADERS BEHIND THE SCENES WE TALK TO NIKKI CRUZ, A BADASS CONTENT CREATOR FROM AUSTRALIA, WHO HAS BUILT A WHOLE CAREER OUT OF HER CREATIVITY. I´VE PERSONALLY BEEN FOLLOWING HER FOR A YEAR AND SEEN HER GROW (AS WELL AS HER CLIENT LIST)

She shares all her work on her instagram feed, which is kind of like her portfolio. So if you are in need of inspiration you know where to go. But she is just one of those who has an eye for details and for some reason beauty has found her, and I think I read somewhere that she is the queen of texture creation. Or did I say that? Anyways, her texture shots are like nothing I´ve ever seen before, and she really makes beauty, become badass.

She has already created some badass content for Skin & Goods, and we have new content with her coming up. But make sure you follow her for endless inspiration and hilarious captions. (Seriously, I look forward to them every day)

WHO IS NIKKI CRUZ?
