Simple. Thoughtful. Bonafide.
Hi, I’m Nicole.
I’m the person you call when you have an idea but aren’t quite sure what to do with it. I’ve always been the person who notices when something could be just a little better.
A better layout.
A better invitation.
A better way to explain something.
A better way to make an idea feel like you.
My background is a mix of journalism, communications, design, marketing, and event planning. I’ve spent years working on the behind-the-scenes pieces that help businesses communicate clearly—and I’ve always loved the creative side of that work most.
Eventually, I realized something:
I didn’t just want to make things look good. I wanted to help people figure out what they were trying to say, how they wanted to say it, and how to actually bring the idea to life.
That’s Bonafide.
Why “Bonafide”?
Because I believe good design should feel authentic.
Not trendy for the sake of being trendy.
Not complicated because complicated sounds impressive.
Not designed to look like somebody else’s business.
It should feel like you.
Simple. Thoughtful. Bonafide.
Let’s make it Bonafide.
Tell me what you’re working on.
You don’t need to have everything figured out.
Tell me what you’re building, what’s not working, what you’ve been dreaming about, or what you need someone to take off your plate.
We’ll figure out the rest together.
