About Me

Hi, I’m Nicole! I am a current BFA Graphic Design student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For me, design isn’t just about making things look pretty (though that’s certainly part of the fun); it’s about weaving stories, solving problems, and crafting experiences where beauty meets brains.

Through my academic escapades and hands-on projects, I’ve dabbled in everything from branding to digital design to illustration—each one sharpening my skills in communication, collaboration, and the fine art of nitpicking details. My goal is always the same: create solutions that make an impact (and hopefully get a few ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ along the way).

When I’m not designing, you can find me crocheting amigurumi, experimenting with film photography, or hunting for unique finds in antique shops. I have a soft spot for mid-century modern and space-age designs. Every project I take on is a chance to learn, grow, and make a mark!
