About the Owner

Nikki Riojas
Owner, Made in Texas Co., and Made in Corpus Christi, LLC
Founder, Women’s Entrepreneur Society of Corpus Christi

Nikki Riojas started her first company in 2002, and has been an advocate for the ‘shop small’ movement over the past 20 years. While entrepreneurship has always been a part of her life, Nikki has also spent a large part of her career in creative fields including marketing, design, and communication for small nonprofits up to multi-million dollar corporations. Throughout her career, she has always supported artists, makers, and entrepreneurs along the way.

As a result of her interest in supporting other women-owned small businesses, Nikki founded the Women’s Entrepreneur Society of Corpus Christi in 2017. This non-profit organization was established to develop and nurture relationships among women business owners in her community. The group currently has over 100 members, and aims to keep talent in the Coastal Bend by providing education, collaboration, support, and resources to women at all levels of their career.

Nikki has also been an adjunct Graphic Design faculty member at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, Dana College, and Bellevue University over the years. 

A mom, wife, entrepreneur, and big-thinker, Nikki knows the importance of finding life-balance...even if she rarely gets it.
