Introducing Nikky, our new Lead Recruiter for London’s Brand, Design & Creative community

We’re delighted that Nikky Lyle has joined the Craft team as a Lead Recruiter, focusing on brand, design and creative roles at all levels across London, South West and the South East.

With over a decade of experience recruiting creatives, Nikky has been actively involved in the creative industry as a mentor and wider contributor with D&AD, Ladies Wine & Design, Kerning the Gap, Outvertising and more. So if it wasn’t already obvious why we wanted her on our team, you can see that she exudes the same level of care and craft for the design industry that we do!

Now’s probably our chance to post an interview with Nikky – but how can we compete with her impressive journalistic footprint? She’s been interviewed by Design Week, I Like Networking, Creative Boom, Refinery29, Mystic Blend, Design By Women and Marketing Week to name a few.

In 2021 Nikky was named The Dots 100 Rising Stars and in 2024 won UK Enterprise Awards for best Creative/ Design Mentoring Specialist.

In 2020 she and delivered a TEDx talk on Recruiting with Conscience when Hiring Diverse Talent and a Domestika course about writing a stand out creative CVs.

Clearly, Nikky is a creative force – so what are you waiting for? Get on her radar!
