I have been working with Nikki for the past five years at Carte Blanche. Seldom have I worked with someone who is as passionate about production as she is. She has the remarkable ability to hone in on what is required with great precision and enormous attention to detail. The end product is always noteworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend Nikki for production work.

Background

Former Freelance Television Producer

My As a freelance TV producer, I've produced 10-20 minute inserts for South African television broadcasters for more than 15 years. My former partner Grant Nelson and I produced our first television insert in 1999, I was 27 years old, and it won both local and international awards, highlighting the cruel fowl practices of foie gras production. The last Carte Blanche insert that I produced with my late husband, Jacques Robert Otto was in 2013. It featured the controversial HPV vaccination progam that was due to be implemented at schools and two multinationational pharmaceutical companies were competing for the contract; GSK and MERCK. However, most of our television productions shone the light on environmental, conservation, and wildlife stories, highlighting unsung heroes throughout Africa. Our productions over the years have won numerous local and international awards.

I'm 54 years of age, my full name is Nicolette Janine Otto my maiden name is Berryman but I've always been known as Nikki. The blonde profile pictures were taken in 2014, my website profile picture was taken in 2021, and then a recent image  2023.
