Hi, my name is Nicole, step into a world where my passions and everyday life blend into one, a mix of who I am and the work I create.

After 35 years in the fast paced world of restaurants, I made a bold decision to "start over". I returned to college to pursue a lifelong calling for design, creativity and storytelling through visual work and most of all, my college diploma. 

For the past few years, I've been studying graphic design with a focus on digital illustration and branding. This pivot in life has been filled with growth and learning.

I live in the Bay Area with my boyfriend, Brian of 16 years and our beloved dog, Kobe who's showered us with love for 10 years.

This site is a reflection of my personal journey, sharing photos, experiences, family and friends along with my art work, resume and contact information.

Thank you for being here.
