Originally from the Midwest, Nicole graduated with a degree in Communication Studies from Northwestern University and although she refined her design knowledge through studies at FIT and NYU, Nicole’s sophisticated sensibility and passion for design was cultivated at an early age under the influence of her interior designer mother.

Prior to pursuing design as a full-time career, Nicole spent more than a decade working in the fashion industry where she managed high-profile publicity and events including product launches, luncheons, dinners, world-class fashion shows, top-rated television specials, high-fashion editorials and red carpet parties attended by A-list Hollywood celebrities and some of the world’s most recognizable supermodels.
