Nicole is a set designer based in the New York City metropolitan area, belonging to IATSE Local USA 829.
A proud graduate of the SUNY Purchase Conservatory of Theatre Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Design/Technology (focusing in Scenic Design), Nicole first fell in love with scenery via theatre.
Early years of her career were spent in fabrication shops — first project managing at propNspoon in Rahway, NJ, then drafting scenery for events & exhibitions at Symmetry in Hauppauge, NY.
The seismic shifts of the 2020 pandemic brought Nicole back to her roots of narrative work, primarily film & television, joining USA 829 in 2022.
Having applied her skills to different layers of the industry, Nicole has found a unifying passion in delving into the human condition. In addition to the important conceptual work, Nicole thrives on the careful management and collaboration that goes into bringing a production to life.
