Hi, I’m Nicole — a project maven, designer, and digital strategist with over 12 years of experience crafting and leading brand experiences.  I've touched nearly every corner of design, from crafting government proposals and retail branding to building out web experiences and print/digital media. What ties it all together?


Consistently delivering exceptional visuals and ensuring projects run like a dream.


My toolkit includes everything from breathing life into engaging campaigns to designing complete web experiences ... and beyond. I love what I do, and truly hit my stride where creative vision, smart organization, and driving business growth all come together.


Where I've Contributed


My journey has taken me through diverse sectors, including B2B, D2C, and government-adjacent roles. I've had the privilege of leading design and brand experiences for a 26+ retail store chain, directing UX/UI optimization for major clients at Gartner, and spearheading website redesigns and proposal graphics for government contractors. This breadth of experience gives me a unique perspective on how design and process drive tangible results across industries.

Beyond the Pixels


When I'm not immersed in project plans or design strategy, you'll find me crushing it at trivia night, trying to meticulously craft the perfect deck in Magic: The Gathering, and losing myself in romantasy novels in between spin classes. I believe in a balanced approach to life – just like a well-executed project, it's all about strategy, dedication, and a bit of fun. Let's connect!
