oh hello.
I'm Nicole, a crazy cool cat lady, plant-based master chef, and the queen of knick-knacks. Oh, and I’m a Swiss Army knife Senior Art Director and Designer specializing in branding, brand identity, and packaging. I have 10+ years of experience in marketing, advertising, branding, and packaging designing for various brands, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, working in agencies and in-house while thriving in the CPG and Food & Beverage spaces.
There are 3 beliefs that drive my mindset as a designer, and in life.
Many little pieces make up the whole.
Never limit yourself to just one thing.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.
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 to print design, ideation to final design, production to art direction, I love it all. Hence, I am your Swiss Army knife possessing a wide range of skills at your fingertips.
I’m currently living my best life with my cats, Taco and Flauta, in the most glorious neighborhood of Chicago with a view of the lake from every window.
Likes: cats, tacos, avocados, cooking, thrifting/antiquing, Green Bay Packers, thoughtfulness, and whit.
Dislikes: spiders/bugs, anything above 70 degrees, slow drivers, and people who say no to tacos.
