“If you’re looking for a standout designer who can tackle your biggest creative problems, Nicole's your gal. From the moment she joined us at Redstamp, it was clear that she would quickly become a linchpin in our creative team. As her Creative Director, I found Nicole's unique blend of creative flair and technical prowess absolutely invaluable. She quickly became my go-to for our most critical accounts—and I wasn't alone in my trust in her abilities. Team members across the board consistently vied to have her brilliance shine on their projects..."
“Nicole is a Unicorn. Having run a successful agency for the past 10+ years we've had a lot of folks on our team. I can say that without a doubt that none of them have brought what Nicole has. It's no shock that she was voted the MVP by her teammates. Her ability to connect with humans, and use empathy to guide design projects in a very positive way is outstanding. When paired with her incredible design instincts and talent it all blends together into the perfect team mate. Anyone who gets the opportunity to collaborate with Nicole should do whatever they can to make it happen.”
“Nicole is one of those rare website designers who is not only ridiculously creative but incredibly organized too. She understood the spec of the three projects which we have worked on and added extra value to the website with her input. The best part about working with Nicole is that she will bring joy to any project that she works on.”
“I only had the pleasure of working with Nicole for a little over a year, but in that time I got to see a rare mix of design sensibility, talent, agility, and resourcefulness. Her shining personality and hunger to grow makes collaboration with her truly delightful.
Nicole would be an asset to any design team—I couldn't recommend her enough if I tried.”
“Thank you so much Nicole! It truly was a pleasure working with you. You took our ideas and brought them to life & the whole process was a lot faster than I expected!! Incredible. The logo and website turned out way better than I expected or had in mind haha 😍
Thank you thank you!!”
“I’d like to give a Friday morning shout-out to the #curious and #tenacious Nicole. She’s been instrumental in keeping the Latero project moving smoothly by polishing up the website framework, coming up with creative image and design suggestions, and building out all the blocks. Nicole is always positive, helpful and enthusiastic and does amazing work, but she deserves a particularly big shoutout today. Thank you so much for everything!!”
“As a small business owner, I greatly appreciate collaborators that take time, patience, and energy to complete a vision. Nicole is an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s professional, enthusiastic, and meets timelines while delivering beautiful work. I love her ideas and creative vision. Could not have better things to say, I highly recommend her.”
“This week I would like to recognize the one, the only, Nicole!! We wanted to call out the killer work you’ve been doing on the UBCSUO project these last few weeks. You’ve got a great handle on the project, while helping the team stay super organized. Let’s give it up for Nicole! We appreciate you!!”
