Description

My name is Nicole and I’m an all-around designer specialising in branding design, digital content creation and print production. I have a BA degree in Graphic Design and have been freelancing for 5+ years. Being able to wear the hat of a visual storyteller is a role I take seriously. Effectively creating and communicating in an artistic way has always fascinated me. It challenges me to think differently and sparks even more creativity inside of me. The beauty of being in this field is that I’ll never get tired of it. I love it too much to quit so much so that my purpose is much bigger than just creating something that looks good.
