Thanks for stopping by! I'm Nicole, a first-year at Stanford studying design and engineering. I'm based in California, and loved growing up in San Diego. So much is available in such a consolidated area, and its streets house spaces that all radiate the people who call it home. This access to my community and their diverse stories contributes to why I pay attention the way I do.

I paint, usually watercolor landscapes because I enjoy being outside and watching the world move around me. I'll sometimes catch myself creating surrealist pieces when I'm feeling particularly inspired by my inner child. Outside of art and design, I'm always eating something new or spending time outside with good company.

Where I go from today is just as unknown to me as it is to you. For now, I'm focused on making things I'm proud of, and staying curious about everything else.
