oh hello.
I'm Nicole, a crazy cool cat lady, plant-based master chef, and the queen of knick-knacks. Oh, and a Swiss Army knife Senior Art Director and designer. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BFA in Graphic Design focusing on branding, visual identity, and packaging. Ever since then I’ve living my best life with my cats, Taco and Flauta, in the most glorious neighborhood of Chicago and a view of the lake from every window.
There are 2 beliefs that drive my mindset as a designer, and in life. 1 - That many little pieces make up the whole; and 2 - never limit yourself to just one thing. Thus, I enjoy getting hands-on and working in a variety of mediums to take concepts from start to finish. From doodling to painting, photography to videography, digital design to print design, ideation to production, I love it all. Hence, I am your Swiss Army knife possessing a wide range of skills at your fingertips.
Likes: cats, tacos, avocados, thrifting/antiquing, cooking, Green Bay Packers, thoughtfulness, and whit.
Dislikes: spiders/bugs, anything above 70 degrees, slow drivers, and people who say no to tacos.
