Testimonials

Nicole is a great professional, super effective with clients, very solid at her strategic design work and always one step ahead. But what's more important maybe is that she's also a great person, whose enthusiasm, optimism, open mindedness and willingness to help out are a joy to have around. I'd recommend anyone with a strategic innovation challenge that requires a design approach: hire her!

I'm sure everyone who works with Nicole can agree that she is very professional, competent, hands on, and that she is a fun person to be around with. One skill in particular comes up when I think of her, she has the ability to make complicated things become very simple. I would recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking for hands-on guidance on brand development, creative strategy or incorporating sustainability into your brand. She will rock it!
