Hello! I’m Nicole, a multidisciplinary designer based in Davis, CA, with a focus on interactive design and media. I hold an associate’s degree in Business Administration from Woodland Community College and dual Bachelor’s degrees in Design and Cinema & Digital Media from UC Davis.
My work focuses on the intersections between playfulness and interactivity, and my design approach is a mix of curiosity, collaboration, and (a little) caffeine-fueled chaos. During my undergrad, I co-curated and designed the Cruess Collective Senior Showcase Exhibition at the UC Davis Design Museum, produced episodes for the Links on the Chain podcast (linksonthechain.org), and contributed to the design of an audio booth installation for the 2025 Imagining America National Conference.
Currently, I'm refining an alternative game controller project for MagWest, MakerFaire, and SubZERO. When I’m not immersed in a creative project, you’ll find me daydreaming with my old-lady cat, Ke$ha (yes, with the dollar sign), or casting spells in video games.
