Hello there,
I'm Nicole!
A UX/UI and visual designer based in Baltimore, MD. I am passionate about creating accessible, well designed products, and user-centric experiences. When I’m not designing, you can find me conquering my fear of heights at the bouldering gym or drawing something goofy in my sketchbook.

Kind Words from Delightful Folks
Want to know what it's really like to work with me? Take a peek at what some of my colleagues and clients have to say!
“Multi-project-fire-putting-out-product-designer-and-delighter” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of working with Nicole at our scrappy startup. One example of this is when she incorporated her knowledge of UX design and extensive branding experience to create 30 or so enterprise pages in a week, in Webflow, a program she had never used before. She has a wide range of print and digital design experience to pull from, and she isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and learn a completely new tool or skill set. Nicole is kind, quirky, genuine, and exactly the teammate you would want by your side in the pre-coffee Zoom stand-up.

Nicole was a fantastic UX/UI Design student at Memorisely and contributed to every live class with positivity. Seeing Nicole collaborate and share her creative energy in with her team in case studies and class was a joy.
Zander Whitehurst

Nicole is immensely talented across a range of design mediums, and never fails to create a final product that exceeds all expectations. Not only is she an absolute delight to work with, but she is thoughtful with her design work and goes above and beyond to create a cohesive brand presence across all platforms and formats. Always willing to jump in on any project or offer helpful guidance and feedback to others, Nicole is a wonderful asset to our team who brightens every day with her enthusiasm, positive energy, and passion for design.

I truly can't say enough good things about working with Nicole! Her creativity, curiosity and passion for design had a huge impact on marketing at ListReports. Her openness to feedback and ability to translate marketing goals into compelling materials made her a joy to work with. Even under extremely tight deadlines she was able to deliver exceptional work that exceeded my expectations every time! I sincerely hope our paths cross again, as Nicole was one of the best design partners I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

I hired Sun and Hon to do my new company branding for SunStar Alaska Bed and Breakfast. Nicole has been a delight to work with. She was an excellent professional who listened to my ideas and then took then and expanded on them. She made me feel very comfortable by communicating her processes. I was very satisfied with the final result that I have hired her to work on my website and social media. They are an excellent business partner. I highly recommend Sun and Hon for all marketing, branding and social media needs. The quality of work is AMAZING!!!

During this period, she showed an enormous amount of passion for her craft as well as empathy towards target users. Apart from her fantastic work ethic, she is such a lovely, kind human being who would be a valuable asset and friend to any client or company.
