About Nicole

Hello, I'm Nicole and I can’t help smiling. I love what I do and it shows on my face.
I’m happy designing, art directing, illustrating, writing and conceptualising.
I started out 20 years ago as an Advertising Art Director working extensively in both the commercial and Not-for-Profit sectors. In 2008 I decided to go it alone, creating & developing brands and IPs with some of the most influential people in the Not-for Profit, Retail and Licensing industries. I’ve been incredibly fortunate learning every aspect of business from the ground up. I’ve held key positions within established and start-up e-commerce enterprises and experienced what it takes to bring a big brand to life.

Lately I've been Creating and developing DM campaigns, printed and digital collateral.

I am lucky enough to work with the most exciting and inspiring organisations and their people. Everyday is different – I wake up smiling and go to bed happy knowing I’ve helped clients like Save the Children, The Samaritans and The Air Ambulance Service make the world a better place.

When I’m not creating campaigns, I’m on gameshows, a digital ghost, haunting Challenge TV. So if you have a project that needs design, copy or illustration with a dollop of sunshine on the side, please get in touch.
