Hi, I'm Nicole! I'm an empathetic designer with a passion for crafting delightful and engaging experiences. Before I arrived at my current calling, I was once a sales associate at a pop art gallery, an English and Social Sciences tutor, an academic researcher, an associate editor for an online media site, and a paralegal for a commercial litigation firm. All of these roles are different and unique but they each helped me be the designer I am today.
Fun Facts:
- I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley enclave a.k.a "the 626" and can recommend a restaurant for any type of Asian food.
- I have driven cross-country to and from New York.
- I collect and modify mechanical keyboards. I also collect fountain pen inks!
- Before the pandemic, I spent a lot of time eating and drinking my way through the Disney Resorts with friends.
- I play A LOT of different types of games. Video games...tabletops...board games...card games... With all of these, I think I enjoy working through challenges to achieve success, much like I do with my work.
