Meet Liz

Shoes have always been a first love for Nix + Ness’s founder, Liz Nartker.  She often found that the right shoes - both in comfort and style - could make a big difference in how confident she felt in a given day. 

Nix + Ness has been in the works since early 2022, with inspiration taken from the words of women who have stamped out their place in history, and expressions that remind us of our goals and affirmations.

Using her background in costume design, her love of colors and patterns, and her passion for supporting other women, Liz created Nix + Ness so every woman could walk through the day feeling her best. 

Women-Owned, Women-Made

Liz found a high quality factory in China to produce our shoes, which is also woman-owned and run. Buying shoes from Nix + Ness helps support a community of women throughout the world.
