Mary Oliver in one hand and your daily London Fog in the other. En route to your favorite chair to write your morning pages.

Running a creative business (and just living life!) can be overwhelming and busy—

But here we embrace the slow, 

the meaningful, 

the discovery. 

And you’re invited to do the same.

So glad you’ve made it to the studio, friend.

Nikkita Cohoon artist taking the routine to ritual

Ritual Morning Studio, at its core, is a state of mind.

Think of this as your happy place—

Where fluid line and inky marks coalesce in a moment of electric curiosity captured in grasscloth papered on the walls of your reading nook. 

Your creativity calls and the open sketchbook pages are ready to be filled and it all feels easy with just the right dose of ritual.

In the studio, I create with artistry and craft, and start always with the why behind creating art and practices  that will stand the test of time.

Sink into a comfortable chair and sit awhile.

I’m Nikkita, a multi-passionate artist on a mission to support my fellow creatives in taking the everyday from routine to ritual with creative practices and processes that call us back to our highest work. As a freelance designer and new parent, I found my way back to my creative practice through daily rituals. 

As a business owner and caregiver, I find grounding in my own rituals and am able to give more to myself and others. My daily rituals have included morning pages, lots of loose-leaf tea, walking & wandering, reading romance novels, and enthusing over TV shows with friends. 

You’re invited to step into the studio and to find the ritual in the everyday for yourself, your home, and your creative process.

A bit more about me

With a BFA in printmaking from Memphis College of Art and an MFA from Bowling Green State University, I’ve honed my design intuition alongside my graphic design skills for well over 10 years. My creative roots run deep. I bring my artistic senses to the studio every day and my visual vocabulary is a blend of exploration, intention, meaning, and art.

A mom of two, I fully believe that your business should work for you, and should give to you as much as you give to it and others.

I’m a total business nerd and I love sharing resources and thoughts about running a whole-hearted business. I put this to use on the daily as the Program Manager for Bonnie Christine, and in my Skillshare classes and business.

Learning about the rituals and routines of other creatives—and making art regularly—grounds my creative practice and informs how I work with others.

For my fellow creators

None of us chose the path of creative entrepreneur because we wanted to feel burdened or overwhelmed. I’m here to remind you that having a business is a creative act, and your business can and should nurture and sustain you and the creative vision that started it all.

My Routine to Ritual class series and newsletter are designed as a way to enter into a nurturing creative practice and call ourselves back to the true art of what we do.

For those creating an artful home + Life

My custom wallpapers, print collections, and home goods are designed to help you elevate the everyday and find moments of grounding calm and wonder. 

Beginning with ink flowing across a sketchbook page, or the slow buildup of graphite against the tooth of the paper, every mark and line begins with intention. My collections are designed to elevate home, create moments of calm and grounding, and inspire the sense of ritual in the everyday.
