“Nicole is an absolute delight to work with.  Her mastery of branding - the full spectrum - is incredibly valuable and, in my experience, very rare. She not only ideates but also executes and does both at a very high level.  I am already looking for an excuse to work with her again!”

Chris Burch, Founder & CEO, Burch Creative Capital

“Nicole is both a talented and dedicated designer; the perfect combination of commerciality and novelty. I am deeply appreciative for all the hard work she put into Solid and Striped and that we had the opportunity to work together.”

“As a Creative Director, Nicole is a true artist as well as an astute businessperson, She is able to execute creative concepts while balancing brand strategy and practical considerations.

She easily builds rapport with new contacts, has an incredible eye for detail, and creates a positive work environment. Overall, Nicole is a pleasure to work with and work for.”

— Carrie Sporer, Founder of CS Consulting

“Nicole’s vision and ethic are standout. She is not stopped by how ‘things have always been’ or ‘have to be’ done. She possesses a deep focus on the arc something can take, the everyday steps to get there, and is at ease in multiple disciplines - design, strategy, operations, etc. She welcomes ideas, insights and opportunities that at first glance may not seem obvious, rather relying on a sense of resonance that has led Cienne to knock down silos and innovate on the fashion ‘status quo.’”
