Hello!
My name is Nicole and I am a graphic and user interface designer in Fort Worth, Texas. I am a native Texan who has progessively made my way further and further East, beginning in El Paso where I was born. My love for running trails throughout this state is only matched by my love for boba tea. When I'm not out on the town I enjoy reading novels and cooking up something new in the kitchen. I am an active member of AIGA and I enjoy giving back to the community through Meals on Wheels and Habitat for Humanity.
I am very passionate about living life and being involed in the local community. I strive to share joy and inspire other people through visual communication. I love using graphic design to solve problems and make the world a more beautiful place.
“I have always felt obliged to make a constructive contribution to the future of society.
I have never lost the feeling that I have a task to perform.”
— Josef Müller-Brockmann
