My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. Currently, I work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

Quite recently, I’ve happily taken on the role as wife to Terry Eaton.

Buttershug is a befuddled name that was intentional, a nickname for me coined by tattooist, artist, and long-time (albeit slightly dyslexic) friend: Tami Jo Urban. This website originated in April of 2003 and has gone from personal weblog to strictly a photographic portfolio and back again with countless redesigns in the interim. These days I probably redesign less than I recover my throw pillows. It’s good to be busy.
