With a diversified background in Design Thinking, Nicole works outside the boundaries of any specialized medium – leaving space for curiosity, empathy, and exploration to guide the process. Over the last 10 years she’s partnered with clients big and small to bring business ambitions to life, beautifully.
Always on the hunt for inspiration, traveling has become a cornerstone of Nicole’s design practice. With visits to over 30 countries, she speaks two and a half languages (English + German + working on Spanish) and has called three different countries home for over a year. Without a proper hometown the past three years, Nicole is available for freelance worldwide.
If you’re ready to forget the forced dichotomy between form and function and embrace design that is just as delightful as it is useful, Nicole is right there with you! Let’s paint the world, and your brand, more engaging than we found it.
