Nika began learning about computers with her father who taught her about home networking at a young age. Together they built a couple computers to play Starcraft and Red Alert 2 together.

Shortly thereafter, Nika began experimenting with mapmaking and quest design with Starcraft's tools, and making skins and mods for the Sims. It was here she discovered a lifelong fascination with games as storytelling devices.

Nika began streaming on Twitch in 2016. Her focus became self-described "nerdy buildy games" like Kerbal Space Program, but quickly shifted to roleplay content. She was inducted into the offical Twitch Ambassador Program in 2019 for her work in creating Transmission Gaming, a community of transgender gamers and her outreach to the broader trans community.

Since then, Nika has given lectures on the topics of accessible design in video games and websites, and queer representation in the video game industry to groups and organizations including: To book Nika for a talk regarding queer representation, accessible design, roleplay, or streaming please visit the contact page.
