About Me

Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a recent BFA Graphic Design graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a current graduate student at the University of Colorado Boulder, pursuing a degree in Creative Technology and Design with a focus on User Experience Design.

For me, design isn’t just about making things look good (though that’s certainly part of the fun); it’s about telling stories, solving problems, and crafting thoughtful experiences where beauty meets functionality.

Through my academic journey and hands-on projects, I’ve explored everything from branding and digital design to illustration and user experience, each experience refining my communication skills, collaborative mindset, and love for the little details. My goal is always the same: to create meaningful, impactful design solutions (and maybe earn a few “oohs” and “aahs” along the way).

When I’m not designing, you can find me crocheting amigurumi, experimenting with film photography, or treasure-hunting in antique shops. I have a soft spot for mid-century modern and space-age aesthetics. Every project I take on is an opportunity to learn, grow, and leave a lasting impression.
