Bio
David Kim
Nicole and I worked together for six years, and it was always a pleasure. She is a very talented, detail-oriented designer who is easy to collaborate with. Her ability to find and keep up with the latest trends was crucial to our team. Nicole was always easy to get along and work with; her organizational skills are something to admire, she always gave her time to help and answer all questions. She will indeed be an asset to any team.

I have worked with Nicole in the same division for 5 years at Q4 Designs as a fellow Senior/ Head Designer. Although we designed different categories, we coordinated together on a few projects. Since she was responsible for not just one but several brands, I found her to be a very versatile designer who pays a great attention to detail and an expert multi-tasker. Although extremely busy herself, I've seen her take the time to train & mentor new assistants/ associates with patience on more than one occasion as well. It was wonderful to work with Nicole as she always brought a positive attitude and energy to our office everyday! We worked with many of the same people in the same team from graphic designers to the production team and sales team who I know found her to be very easy to work with and also thought highly of her as well. It was a pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend her as a designer and think she would be a stellar addition to any company.
Heidi Jackson
I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for 4 years when she was the head childrenswear designer at Free Country Ltd. I found Nicole to demonstrate initiative, intelligence in creativity in her work and presentation. As a production manager, I greatly appreciated her design approach. She has the ability to reconcile fresh and stylish designs with the realities of market costs. Nicole's creativity is matched by her ability to clearly communicate as well as project an open and friendly demeanor to all members of the team. She is an asset to any business that I can recommend with confidence.
