Hello, I’m Nicolette-
I grew up putting things together and taking responsibility for creating experiences that I truly valued without much reservation. Before I knew I would pursue a career in graphic design, I was developing the foundation that would support that exact path.
At the University of Georgia I made a final decision to pursue graphic design after previously turning down going to culinary school as I pivoted to the study of hotel and restaurant management then interior design in hopes of one day owning my own restaurant. That dream is still alive, however, it has morphed into something more all-encompassing: to own, brand and operate a series of boutique bed & breakfasts in the many cities that inspire me so immensely. I am a person with many passions and this path could not be more true to the things I find the most joy in: hospitality, the true feeling of ‘home’, nourishing food found in nature, gathering with those you love, beautiful spaces, tailored experiences, and an intentional, impressive, and honest brand.
In the past I have always deemed myself a multi-faceted designer as I took pride in not just being great at one thing, but being good at many. I have reached the point in my life where my purpose is pulling me down a path of design that is truly aligned with who I am: the world of branding in the space of hospitality, food and beverage, and interior design and architecture. There is no space that lights my passion on fire as these do and there is no challenge too big to dim my desire to make these spaces more functional, more beautiful and more aligned with the honest nature of the human experience.
Outside of design, I am a self-proclaimed health-nut, an avid runner, and an early riser with a passion for self-development books and psychology. My thirst for knowledge drives me on a daily basis and my need for new challenges and problems to solve not only keep life wildly interesting, but make life worth it. I am fascinated by the effect of design on the human experience and working for companies and with people that enhance that experience is a dream I am currently pursuing.
