Hi there,
I’m Nikki
Quinn.

I’m a junior at Duke University (Class of 2027) and a Division I athlete on the Duke Volleyball Team, pursuing a self-designed Program II major titled Extended Reality and the Design Process. My work sits at the intersection of engineering and design, using XR technologies to streamline prototyping, enable rapid iteration, and evaluate highly detailed, thematic environments.

At the core of my projects is a fascination with how technology can transform ideas into lived experiences - whether that’s a fully interactive VR museum gallery, a large-scale Unreal Engine installation, or a 3D-printed prototype designed to solve a real user problem. I love working in the creative space where art, engineering, and storytelling overlap, and innovating new ways to make imagination feel tangible. I’m always excited to bring both technical precision and imaginative design to every project I build.
