About
Hello, my name is Nicole!
Born in Chicago & raised in Ilo-Ilo City for seven years.
Now based & redefined in Chicago.
Feminist. Breast cancer survivor. Freelance graphic designer. Photographer. Photo editor. Striving art therapist. Wanderluster. Growing up, I had this powerful feeling that I needed to set myself free and no one could do it except for me. Today, I hope to impart that strength and wisdom to young women & men everywhere.
A.A.S in Graphic Design from Oakton Community College, graduated with Honors & a President Scholar
I'm a sucker for coffee, pugs, drawing doodles, ice cream & shooting polaroids. Traveling has always been a meaningful adventure & a great remedy. I also have this flare of optimism that is difficult for people to extinguish. For me, composing great design is fulfilling, but helping others create deep connections & reach their full potential is even more so.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I intended to become a graphic designer and photographer, although, I realized after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year, I have an intense passion to assist and guide people. My aim is to combine my passion for art & design and helping people. So I decided to pursue an undergraduate & masters in social work with a minor in art and psychology. I prefer working with all age groups than individuals. On the other hand I would not mind working with individuals. Overall, my ultimate goal is to become an art therapist or a social worker who practices art therapy with men, women and children affected by cancer.
