Hello.
I’m Nicole…

YOUR NEW, ON-DEMAND CREATIVE PARTNER

I began my career at an agency, working on national projects for brands like Whirlpool and Maytag. Seeking a change, I moved to Northern Michigan to focus on website design, collaborating with franchise brands such as Mollymaid to boost their online presence.

As Art Director for a regional magazine, I oversaw the design of over 20 publications annually and managed numerous photoshoots. My journey through various sectors eventually led me to entrepreneurship, where I founded my own business, offering customized and innovative design solutions.

With a diverse background as a creative director, I bring a unique perspective to each project. I ensure every piece of work is visually compelling and effectively communicates the brand’s message and values.

As your strategic partner, I offer more than just design expertise. I specialize in visual problem-solving, using marketing and graphic design to drive your brand’s growth and success. I understand the importance of brand positioning and am dedicated to helping you connect with your target audience.

My approach is simple yet powerful: Dream. Design. Do.

I firmly believe in the transformative power of design for your business. Let’s collaborate—together, we can turn your business goals into reality.

Is there a minimum commitment?

To ensure I provide the best value and experience to the teams I work with, my fractional creative direction services require a minimum commitment of three months.

I’m here to help you build a creative team that fits your budget, whether for short-term or long-term needs. I’ll also provide the essential direction they need to create high-quality communication materials.

When can you start?

I limit my client intake to ensure each one receives the best service and attention. Contact me to schedule a free discovery call so we can discuss your brand needs today.

My business isn’t B2B, can I still work with you?

Certainly! While I specialize in B2B businesses, I have extensive experience across various industries. Whether your business is B2C or another sector, I aim to provide effective solutions that foster growth. We need to determine if we’re a good match. Let’s schedule a meeting to explore your unique needs and goals, and discuss how my expertise can benefit your business. I look forward to our conversation!
