About

Nikki Borges is a Latinx Director who thrives on turning creative chaos into polished storytelling gold. She’s spent years honing her craft at Girvin Pictures, where she’s learned that the best stories come from a mix of strategy, authenticity, and just the right amount of caffeine.

Balancing both producing and directing throughout her career, Nikki has developed a deep respect for the behind-the-scenes hustle. Her firsthand understanding of logistics, budgets, and problem-solving makes her a resourceful, solution-oriented director—one who brings big ideas to life with creativity and precision.

Her work spans social media, music videos, and red carpet events, with clients like Estee Lauder, The Wall Street Journal, Van Cleef & Arpels and more. As a Co-Founder of instaMiniSeries, she served as showrunner on projects like MURDERVILLE, and in 2020, she directed SoulPancake’s Now What?, sparking important conversations with youth activists.

When she’s not behind the camera, you can find Nikki soaking up the sun in Rockaway Beach, NY—living her best life as a professional surf spectator and part-time beach lizard with her pup, Chop Cheese.
