The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.

Reading

たくみ
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it probably uses the kun'yomi reading. You did not learn this reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

You meet an artisan and they're tacking pictures on a wall to sell. You want the artisan to make a picture of you too so you yell, "TACK ME (たくみ)!"
