Nicole has a keen sense of design and art, and her ability to balance brand and artfulness was shown in her work. Her attention to detail, audience and project needs impressed me each time I had the opportunity to work with her. She is an incredibly creative person who also has an affinity to teach what she knows and did so by building easy-to-use templates, smartly managing a large visual media library and consistently sharing her expertise to those who had a desire to learn. Nicole is a hard-to-find mixture of business acumen and artistic creativity that elevated the company's brand in each project in which she participated or influenced. She's a great talent for any team lucky enough to have her.

I'm so grateful for what Nicole has done for our firm, and she is totally awesome to work with. Mechanical engineering is a frustratingly difficult field to create compelling graphics for, and Nicole has built an accessible, technically correct, and visually appealing palate of tools for our team to use. She is a huge asset to our team, and to our mission of creating more sustainable buildings!
