In my own words
— NicoleGraphic designer, illustrator, professional beach bum, wanna-be jet setter and obsessive dog lover.
I tend to feel most like myself when I am covered in sand and salt from head-to-toe.
My passion for graphic design is in the retail and action sports industry. I love, live and breathe that lifestyle and it's pretty easy to have a passion for something that you can relate to. In my career, I've worked on brands like Victoria's Secret, Dicks Sporting Goods and PINK.
