Nikki is the owner of Green Top Planning, Development, Research — a multidisciplinary land use and geographic information systems consultancy specializing in complex, long-range planning and land development. She works with private and public clients to identify innovative solutions for challenging real estate development.
She loves working with diverse stakeholder groups to identify shared goals and build consensus around projects that benefit our communities and clients.
"Build your team, especially if you are a solo business owner. Surround yourself with experts in the parts of your work that can be outsourced. Focus on the things you deliver that are unique to you and that you can do better than anyone else. Let an outside expert handle those tasks that take time away from the tasks that you are the expert in."
Nikki Hart-Brinkley was raised in a family jewelry business and is certified to grade diamonds. She has a degree in anthropology and worked as an archaeologist after college. She worked in human resources until taking time off to be home with her youngest child. When he was old enough to enter preschool, she pursued a career in GIS, fulfilling a lifelong love of all things map-related.
"WESO has provided a supportive environment from which to grow professionally. I appreciate being surrounded by skilled, ambitious women and enjoy celebrating their accomplishments as they thrive in their businesses."
Nikki is relearning how to stand up paddle board, which she has not made time for in ages. She loves traveling with her family in an RV and connecting with friends over a quiet glass of wine. In the evenings, she unwinds with good books and is currently working her way through a stack of spooky folklore.
