The creative brain behind the work

Hi, I’m Nicole! I’ve been designing things since the day my dad, a retired printer, brought home stacks of paper and gifted me Print Shop Deluxe. I’d spend hours making business cards, greeting cards, and logos, and somewhere in there, I never stopped. For me, creative work isn’t just a skill, it’s part of my wiring.

Today, I work with small businesses that want design and marketing that’s reliable, flexible, and easy to manage. I’ve spent over two decades wearing every hat in the creative world: art direction, graphic and web design, copy editing, email automation, print production—you name it. And yes, I still geek out over fonts.

People often say they feel relieved after we start working together because I make the process feel like a squeeze of lime: bright, refreshing, and just what you didn’t know you needed. I take the stress out of everyday design and marketing tasks so you can stay focused on what you do best.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me on my patio with a cold beverage in hand, surrounded by tropical plants, friends, and my long-haired Chihuahua, Franklin, making sure he’s the center of attention.

I’m passionate, loyal, goofy, and endlessly curious.

MY FAVES

Franklin Danger
My long-haired Chihuahua, constant companion, and official mascot of good vibes. He wears bow ties, Hawaiian shirts, and has no shortage of opinions.

Beverages
I’m beverage-obsessed. Morning cold-press coffee, afternoon grapefruit bubble tea, evening French 75s… I am always sipping something fun.

Tropical Plants & Patio Living
My backyard is my sanctuary: fountains, palm trees, and sunshine. It’s been described as “spa-like.”

Trees
I’m mesmerized by the shapes, textures, and seasonal drama of trees. They’re perfect.

The North Shore
Lake Superior has my heart. Its waves calm my mind.

Yes, I get pro photos of my dog. Wouldn’t you? Look at him.
