Chris Nikdel

Ask their fearless founder to describe her “why” – as in why she does what she does – her answer is always crystal clear: to do the best design work possible in the company of talented people who really love working together.

Today’s CNP is the glowing result of Chris’s why. With more than 30 years of experience in shops from LA to Australia, Chris is the heart and soul and design conscience of CNP. Anti-tyrant. Burner of midnight oil. Creator of ground-breaking work for Central Florida clients. Owner of impeccable taste. Giver of time to the community she loves. Maker of beautifully designed (and on-strategy) chef salads. Chris holds a B.F.A. from the University of Massachusetts and an M.A. from the University of Florida. She also attended the Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, California and the Art Institute of Philadelphia for graphic design training.
