NICOLE ZÏZI STUDIO

Nicole Zízi is a Haitian-American designer and founder of NICOLE ZÍZI STUDIO, a lifestyle brand turning recycled, alternative, and natural materials into products with purpose. Since 2018, she has worked with materials like recycled denim, cactus leather, and algae ink, guided by the sustainable practices Black and Indigenous communities have honored for generations. Her Coach's jacket, made from denim woven from plastic bottles recycled in Haiti and Honduras, drew national attention through HuffPost. Today Zízi is pursuing an MFA in Industrial Design at Parsons, where she continues building design rooted in culture, community, and care for the planet.
