ABOUT

Nicole is a Texas-born, New York City–based graphic designer. Her practice blends analog and digital processes across creative marketing, full-scale brand development, digital content creation, social media strategy, creative direction, and independent projects such as film posters and zines. Rooted in visual storytelling, her work focuses on building compelling narratives through art and design.

Influenced by the aesthetics she grew up around, Nicole’s visual language weaves together Mexican Catholicism, Americana, digital spaces, and gothic horror. Her work explores the intersections of religion, the occult, internet subcultures, and girlhood, merging surrealism, fantasy, darkness, and beauty.

By drawing from traditional mythology and contemporary culture, she transforms personal and symbolic stories into modern explorations of identity, belief, and the surreal.
