NiK Kacy is the founder of NiK Kacy Presents which produces events such as Equality Fashion Week, the first LGBTQ+ focused fashion week in LA, and Queer Prom, recreating and reclaiming prom for the queer community as a right of passage that we often missed experiencing as our authentic selves. As a transmasculine individual who identifies as gender non-binary, Kacy’s designs and imagination are inspired by both their personal identity, style and
 activism. Since their successful Kickstarter campaign in March 2015 for their fashion brand, NiK Kacy Footwear, the first genderfree footwear and accessories company, NiK has been featured in numerous publications including, but not limited to The Advocate, Autostraddle, DapperQ, Diva, Fashion Times, Forbes, Fortune, LA Times, Out, Ozy, Refinery29, Ryot, SheWired, TimeOut, and The Huffington Post. 

NiK has appeared on countless panels, speaking as an expert on gender fluidity and the intersectionalities of their experience as a multi-cultural trans/non-binary, person of color, immigrant and queer entrepreneur. Prior to becoming a designer and entrepreneur, NiK spent 20+ years in the advertising and entertainment industries, serving primarily in the roles of producer and/or project manager. During that time NiK worked on multimillion dollar campaign projects for YouTube, Google and RPA with clients including LG, Honda, Acura, Sony, Hyundai, Kia, Lexus, Toyota, BBC. NiK eventually left the corporate world in order to find a solution for footwear and fashion to evolve into a gender-free industry so that all gender identities and expressions can be represented equally.
