Hi, I’m Nicole!
Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, I made the move to Beaver Dam in 2023, where I now live with my husband, Tyler, and our two sons, Carson and Zayne. My journey into the world of creative arts began after high school, when I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in photography at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Later, I earned an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design from Madison College in 2020. With nearly a decade of experience in photography, graphic design, and marketing, I've had the opportunity to combine my passion for art and storytelling.
Currently, I work as a graphic designer for Edible Madison, which has been one of the most rewarding and fun projects of my career. Food and cooking are at the heart of who I am; there's nothing I love more than showing my appreciation for friends and family through home-cooked meals. When I’m not immersed in creative work, you can usually find me curled up with a good book in bed or exploring the outdoors. I’m passionate about backpacking, and recently, my husband and I completed our first section hike in the Great Smoky Mountains. My dream is to one day thru-hike the Appalachian Trail.
My goal is more than just design—it’s about making a real impact. I aspire to work with a team of creative people with all kinds of skills and personalities, brainstorming and collaborating on projects that focus on building community and coming up with ideas that make a difference.
