Some of Nicole’s favorite things
Nicole has been writing and creating for most of her life. She has a way with words, a strong appetite for knowledge, and a deep desire to take things apart to make them better. She enjoys building teams and improving organizations. She has a special talent for forging a path where none exist. She's spent the last 7 years focusing on creating valuable experiences and designing tools for people of color, particularly young people.
Nicole is all about exploring possibilities outside of established boundaries, and making sure black people are informed, creative, and intentional about the future.
What Nicole Does at the Design Center:
Nicole coordinates the logistics and execution of Design Your Neighborhood projects—securing and managing volunteers, organizing events, and facilitating the successful delivery of our youth education curriculum.
