Together with Niki you will work with shapes, colors, and feelings in a fun way. You will learn more about yourself and your qualities. Play the dress-up game, make a mask, or make your own design on paper. Finally, have your transformed self photographed to create your own portrait collage to take home.

About Niki Milioni

Niki Milioni (1989) is active as an artist, designer, and facilitator of creative processes. She also works as a children's coach and meditation guide. From a young age, she found ways to express herself through clothing. Without using words or sound, she could communicate—breathing through color, shape, and texture. This visual language gave her strength, joy, and a sense of connection to the world around her. In her work with people, she is dedicated to fostering inner freedom, love, creativity, and self-expression.

Niki studied fashion design at the Rietveld Academy, completed training in yoga and child coaching, and earned a master's degree in Community Art and Design at ArtEZ. During this time, she developed modedoen: a playful discovery space for children focused on embodied self-expression.

Together with initiator Taka Taka, she facilitates The Closet every week: a creative playground for young people, located in the studio of Erwin Olaf, where costumes, make-up, performance, and character development come together.
