After completing her studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, Nika Campisi specialised in Film Costume Design at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, where she trained under Piero Tosi and Maurizio Millenotti. This academic background marked the beginning of a diversified professional career spanning film, television and theatre, in which she has worked as designer, decorator, assistant and costume designer. A significant turning point was her encounter with costume designer Gianluca Falaschi, with whom she established a long-term and productive collaboration on numerous productions.
In 2020, together with Daniele Menghini and Davide Signorini, she won the Opera Education competition organised by AsLiCo with La Cenerentola, which then toured Italy and France, also landing at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. In 2021, she designed the costumes for Resurrexit Cassandra, directed by Jan Fabre and starring Sonia Bergamasco, which premiered at the Teatro Grande in Pompeii, produced by the Teatro di Napoli.
Among her most recent works are Il barbiere di Siviglia (2022, Sferisterio in Macerata), Carmen (opening of the Macerata Opera Festival 2023), Tristano e Isotta (Teatro Massimo in Palermo), Un ballo in maschera (Verdi Festival at Teatro di Busseto) and Der Junge Lord (Maggio Musicale Fiorentino).
