Meet Nicole

I am shaped by creativity, connection, and a lifelong curiosity for the arts. From an early age, I was drawn to expression through crafting, performance, and dance, learning that creativity is about storytelling and emotional connection.

My path into design wasn’t linear. I began in business administration, but later found my true calling in interior architecture, where creativity and structure came together. A visit to New York City made it clear to me that design could be theatrical, strategic, and experiential, a way of bringing brands to life through space.

Dance also deeply influenced how I think and work. It taught me to listen, observe movement, and connect with people. Skills that now guide how I design spaces with intention, balance, and care.

Today, I design by listening first, creating environments that feel intuitive, meaningful, and lasting.

Mision

Vision

A Little More About Me

I hold a background in Interior Architecture and Visual Merchandising, along with a Post-Degree Diploma in Business and Marketing from Camosun College. My work includes visual displays, retail layouts, and design projects that combine brand storytelling, customer behavior, and strategy.

I love collaborating with creative brands and small businesses that want to stand out and build real connection with their audience. I’m always finding new ways to express my creativity, whether it’s through DIY projects at home, visual props for retail displays, dancing, or exploring new ideas. Design is not just my work, it’s the way I see the world.
