PLEASE & THANK YOU

this is a journey for thee entrepreneur.

  • You have the idea. I have the expertise to bring that vision to life. I will take the time to get to know you, learn about your vision, understand your goals, and conduct market research to develop a strategy that aligns with your business objectives. This will include defining your brand identity, finding your brand voice & tone, and overall direction to ensure your brand speaks to & resonates with your desired audience.

  • We will brainstorm innovative ideas that can bring your brand to life. This is a fun collaborative process to gather inspiration and create memorable visuals and compelling narratives that speak to your audience.

  • Once concepts have been approved & loved, I bring them to fruition. This is where the fun begins! (...for me at least hehe) From logo design, brand guidelines, digital assets, packaging, social media content, pitch decks and everything in between, I thoughtfully develop each brand element, ensuring consistency, cohesiveness, and quality across all touchpoints.

  • Once your brand identity is established, it’s time to launch your online presence. A strong online presence starts with a well-designed website, which is crucial for engaging potential customers. Whether you choose Shopify for e-commerce or Squarespace to showcase a portfolio, I’ll ensure your site reflects your brand identity. Using my affiliate links simplifies your setup and offers exclusive features that enhance your online visibility.

  • Develop essential marketing materials and create marketing campaigns to promote your brand effectively and ensure you create maximum impact. Effective marketing tools are vital for reaching your audience. I can help you implement solutions like Mailchimp for email marketing and Hootsuite for social media management. By using my affiliate links, you’ll access powerful features while receiving smart analytics to refine your marketing strategy.

  • High-quality print materials remain essential for making a lasting impression. I’ll design business cards and brochures that reflect your brand’s professionalism, and I recommend using services like Moo for printing. By using my affiliate links, you’ll get exclusive discounts and ensure your materials effectively communicate your message.

  • After you have successfully launched your business, track your brand's performance and make necessary adjustments to improve results. To scale your business effectively, strategic planning and the right tools are crucial. I recommend tools like Mailchimp Analytics to monitor email campaign performance and Google Analytics for audience insights. By leveraging my affiliate links, you’ll streamline your processes and increase your ability to grow.

  • Embracing a growth mindset is crucial for long-term entrepreneurial success. I have a list of books that you can purchase from Amazon to stay motivated and in alignment with your goals, along with online courses from Udemy to grow your skills and knowledge. By using my affiliate links for these resources, you’ll invest in your growth while supporting our ongoing partnership.

  • Creating original content is essential for establishing a strong digital presence that sets you apart from competitors. By hiring me, you will receive high-quality images or videos shot with my DSLR or DJI drone, tailored specifically to your brand’s needs. Unlike generic stock images that may appear on competitors' sites, custom content reflects your unique vision and enhances your authenticity. If you prefer stock options, I can recommend reputable sources, but keep in mind that original content are key to standing out and truly connecting with your audience.

Working with Nicole has been an absolute pleasure! She is incredibly talented, picking up on our requests and brand vision quickly, and always bringing creative and thoughtful solutions to the table. Her attention to detail and dedication to the project was evident in every aspect of her work. Not only did she deliver everything on time, but often ahead of schedule, which made the process so smooth and efficient. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and how easy it was to collaborate with her. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable designer. She’s a fantastic asset to any project.

Shereen Elsammaa
VP Integrated Marketing at Sambazon®

The word of Nicole’s talents came from a friend and fellow author. I was in need of a professional that could handle the technical aspects of transferring my book files to the printing agent in Europe. She handled it masterfully and even helped with content and revisions. Then I needed a website. Nicole is a master web designer. Had us up and running within hours and is always available whenever I come calling. Need I say more?

Steve Burke
CEO of West Coast Creative Endeavors, Inc.

I am so pleased with the branding package that Nicole and her team created for me. She is very thoughtful, intentional, and truly knows how to make your ideas come to life. Nicole patiently works with you providing many options until you are completely satisfied and the product feels authentic to you and your brand! I would definitely hire Nicole again! 💕

Isaac San

I'm a traveling photographer, and I needed an assistant for a wedding in San Diego. Nicole came highly recommended, and I lucked out that she was available! It was like we had worked together for years. She was very kind and joyful when relating to the guests and intuitive as an assistant and such a strong photographer with an artistic eye. She added so many amazing images, and I would highly recommend her in any of her design branches. She's a treasure!
