Heather Nickerson is the co-founder and CEO of Artifcts. She is an avid hiker, skier, baker, storyteller, and collector of memories. Prior to co-founding Artifcts, Heather served as president of a private security company and authored a book on how to protect your privacy. She also served for nearly a decade as an intelligence analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency, including serving as a briefer in a war zone tour in Afghanistan.
Heather’s inspiration for Artifcts came after inheriting 6,000 square feet of ‘stuff’ from her mother’s estate and having to figure out not only what the ‘stuff’ was, but what her mother would have wanted to happen to it.
Heather lives in Washington, DC with her husband, teenage daughter, and very spoiled golden retriever.
