Nikita Ellison

Activist, Artist, Designer, Environmentalist, Philanthropist, World traveler

Raised in the Soviet Union, Ellison earned her bachelor’s degree in hospitality tourism and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) before permanently landing in the United States to launch a multifaceted career. Upon arriving in California, Ellison continued her education through architectural engineering courses and was inspired to pursue a role in the world of real estate. With admiration and appreciation for the artistry of buildings and spaces, Ellison built her own real estate company and cultivated a passion for remodeling homes with classic pieces, neutral color palettes, and touches of timeless sophistication. She loves creating spaces that are warm, inviting, and comfortable. In addition to real estate and design, Ellison is also a dedicated animal advocate. She has worked closely with the California Wildlife Center, participating in fundraisers to protect, rescue, and rehabilitate sick, injured, or orphaned animals. She is also a Peninsula Humane Society & SPCABoard Member, assisting in the organization’s events and fundraisers to help find homes for animals in need of loving caretakers. Ellison also supports the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center, which is helping to bring the species back from the brink of extinction through new reproductive technologies and innovations.
