About nikoniko

Hi, I'm Federica, the pencil behind nikoniko!

Since many years I work as a freelance designer based in Italy, specialized in toys and playful products! 

​

I have always been a pattern lover, they often are the subject of my photos. I am also a big fan of Japan, にこにこ (nikoniko) is a japanese expression that means "smiling happily" 😊 this is what I aim to evoke through my creations.

If you like, please follow my journey in pattern design!
