About Nichole

Nichole is a Bay Area artist. Art has always helped Nichole create connection and communication with people. Identity and vulnerability are big themes in her work.  

She published Ambrosia and What do Scientists Actually Do? while in college and graduate school at The University of California Los Angeles. 

After pursuing her MFA in Animation at UCLA, she quickly found herself working at studios like NBC Universal and PDI DreamWorks. Nichole has created production art work on short films like, Merry Madagascar and features like, The Penguins of Madagascar. This launched her into following her passion full time.

When she is not creating illustrations for picture books, she is creating baby graphics for Old Navy and of course running after her two children and nervous dog, Malcolm.
