When she was growing up, Nikki couldn't see out of her left eye.That didn't stop her from dressing-up and making her own clothes though. When she put on different outfits, she could be anyone. After a stroke during her pregnancy took away Nikki's vision in her right eye, she decided to pursue a career doing what she had always loved: designing. Nikki started her own fashion label, Blind Grit and now, Nikki's label is shown at Melbourne Fashion Week and employs people with disabilities and challenges.
