Hi there, I’m Nicola a freelance designer based near Edinburgh. My journey began with a degree in Interior Design, where I learned the art of redefining spaces while placing a strong emphasis on customer journeys and storytelling through design. This foundation has seamlessly transitioned into my work in graphic design, where I specialise in developing strong brand identities that resonate with audiences. My extensive knowledge and experience span various creative industries, allowing me to approach design with a unique perspective. I believe that a brand's identity is a reflection of its values and mission, and I strive to encapsulate this essence in every project. My meticulous attention to detail and deep understanding of aesthetics and functionality form the bedrock of my design ethos, ensuring that each visual element serves a purpose and enhances the overall brand experience. In addition to my focus on graphic design, my background in exhibition design has equipped me with the skills to create immersive environments that captivate and engage audiences. This experience has reinforced my commitment to crafting compelling narratives through design, ensuring that every brand I work with tells its story effectively across all touchpoints. I am passionate about collaborating with clients to elevate their brand identities and create memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression.
