About
Born to the mean streets of DeKalb, Nicole Ngo found an outlet for her youthful aggression by immersing herself in craft projects. Local authorities were soon able to breathe a sigh of relief. Glad to finally have her off the streets.
Nicole’s interest in all things creative lead her to pursue a degree in visual arts. A graduate of the International Academy of Design and Technology with a BFA in Graphic Design, Nicole was able to weave her love of craft seamlessly into her design style. Her penchant for hand crafting most of her designs through various printing techniques tied with her adeptness with the creative suite gives her the perfect mix to solve those pesky visual conundrums. However, for your own personal safety, do not mention the Blackhawks (unless you have 45 minutes of your life you wish to part with) or eat her snacks.
Her skills also include a general knowledge of birds, the penchant for licking exposed wiring and an ability to wield a can of spray mount with drop-dead accuracy.
