The Studio Behind The Stardust. Thoughtful, Sharp, And Relentlessly On Your Side.
A one-woman studio that blends strategy, design, development, and real-world experience into websites that feel intentional, intuitive, unmistakably yours, and built to support real visibility and action.
Meet Nicky Hornstein.
Hi, I’m Nicky – the designer, developer, and strategist behind Nyx Web Design. I bring together visual clarity, technical precision, and calm, structured communication so you have one partner who sees the full picture and makes sure nothing gets lost between idea and launch.
With extensive experience in web design, development, and visual communication, I create websites that combine aesthetics, functionality, and purpose. My work is guided by a deep understanding of user needs, accessibility, search visibility, and the goals behind every project.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to wear multiple hats: designer, developer, strategist, and end-user advocate. This allows me to approach each project from several perspectives and deliver solutions that are both creative and practical.
A website should not only look good. It should guide visitors clearly, build trust, and support real conversions, whether that means inquiries, bookings, purchases, or contact requests.
The work I do brings together structure, content, design, and development into one clear process, so nothing gets lost between idea and execution.

And about the name – “Nyx” has been my nickname for years, and it also happens to be the name of the Greek goddess of the night. The site’s design reflects a bit of that spirit: celestial, quiet, and full of small points of light, a calm space where creative ideas take shape.
Industry Experience
Throughout my career, I have built websites for non-profit organizations, banks, educational institutions, arts and culture projects, and corporate intranet systems. Each project begins with understanding the target audience and ends with a digital experience designed to achieve measurable impact.
Approach
Web design is not only about visual appeal. It is about clarity, accessibility, connection, and discoverability. My goal is to build websites that tell your story, engage your visitors, support your organization’s mission, and give search engines a clean, solid foundation from the start.
