Victoria Pergament : creative director
Ms. Pergament’s projects have spanned the globe and the gamut of design, from Swedish cars to juice bars and spas, to Jimi Hendrix CDs. A native Australian, Victoria studied printmaking at the Sydney College of the Arts, viola and piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, exhibited her paintings and prints in Hong Kong and modeled extensively in Asia and Europe. Following a successful modeling career including international campaigns for such clients as Country Road, Benetton, and Pepsi Cola, Victoria switched hemispheres and careers via a move to Los Angeles. There, she attended Otis College of Art and Design, where she received her BFA in Communication Arts. In 1999, Victoria founded nichestudios, a unique design studio servicing a variety of clients in Los Angeles and beyond. Victoria is a member of the AIGA and National Association of Women Business Owners.
Adam Pergament : business development
A native New Yorker and long time Californian, Adam received his BA in Liberal Arts and Economics from Columbia University and studied postgraduate law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. In the late 80’s, Adam applied his family’s background in the fashion industry and pursued his interest in the arts. His fine art and fashion photography was published numerous times while he became a partner in a contemporary women’s clothing company, selling to top retailers such as Fred Segal. In 1999 Adam decided to approach the Internet with his extensive business experience, applying the same data management skills garnered from his years spent in corporate litigation. He successfully launched his company 11x14, an application service provider offering technology solutions in web content requirements and the development of forward thinking marketing strategies. Adam joined nichestudios in 2004, bringing his wealth of experience to the business development of cross-media design and marketing solutions.
