About Me
Welcome to Nikki Lynn Design — a space where Midwest nature, creativity, and storytelling come together.
I’ve always believed that the simplest moments outdoors are the most powerful: the flash of a cardinal at the feeder, wild violets tucked along a trail, or a quiet walk to a hidden waterfall. This site grew from that love of noticing and celebrating the details — the small wonders that make the Midwest so rich and inspiring.
Here, you’ll find:
- Nature & Wildlife Photography that captures birds, plants, and the shifting beauty of our seasons.
- Foraging & Plant Guides to help you safely identify, harvest, and use wild plants and berries in recipes, teas, and even bath and body products.
- Gardening Insights with tips, plant spotlights, and creative ways to use what you grow.
- Midwest Travel Inspiration — from waterfalls and forests to local hidden gems worth exploring.
- Creative Living Projects that turn nature into art, handmade goods, and home inspiration.
Whether you’re here to learn how to make elderberry syrup, discover wildflowers on your next hike, or bring a bit of rustic beauty into your home, my goal is the same: to share knowledge, spark creativity, and help you connect more deeply with the land around you.
Every photo, guide, and story is created with authenticity and care. I hope you leave inspired to explore, create, and notice the little whispers of nature that surround us every day.
Enjoy your stay! I’m happy you are here!!
