Nikki's history is as a commercial architect on large scale corporate projects acting as client advocates.  Her role, with clients such as BNZ Head Office, Fonterra Head Office and New Zealand Stock Exchange, was to investigate culture and brand and then advocate an architecture and workplace that wholly supported this.  A large portion of this work also involved editing the successful Jasmax publication, an investigation into the practice's brand and culture, the way it was perceived by clients and staff and consultants.  Thorougly engaging with an understanding a client was (and still is) core to this architectural approach and forms the basis of starting any project.
