hi there, i’m nikole!!

I’m so glad you made it here! I’m a graphic designer with a background in social sciences and mental health, and I try to bring a human-centered, empathy-first approach to everything I create. My journey into graphic design came about through my macramé business I started during the pandemic. While I created the visual identity—from the logo to the packaging— I rediscovered a passion for design. Building that brand from scratch showed me how much I loved the creative process, and that's what pushed me to take graphic design more seriously.

To me, design is really about connection. My time working in mental health taught me a lot about presence, patience, and perspective, and those things shape how I design today. I try to lead with emotional intelligence, so the work I make comes from a place of clarity and compassion, and speaks to what people actually need.

In my free time, you can find me reading, making silly bumper stickers, thrifting sources of visual inspiration or taking approximately 1000 film photos of my friends. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my website. See ya soon :)
