Meet Nicole

Hello, I’m Nicole, the Minneapolis-based graphic designer behind NJS Creative — a design studio specializing in SquareSpace website design, branding, and marketing collateral for small businesses.

Originally from Wisconsin, my passion for creativity began with arts and crafts as a child, eventually evolving into a love for digital design. I earned my degree in Mass Communications from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire and relocated to Minneapolis in 2007.

After gaining experience in inside sales, I realized my true calling was in the creative field. In 2012, I made the leap to pursue graphic design full-time, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I’m dedicated to helping small businesses elevate their brands through thoughtful and impactful design solutions.

When I’m not designing, I enjoy exploring Minnesota with my husband and two boys, curling up with a good book, taking walks around Lake Nokomis, or indulging in my guilty pleasure — watching documentaries and reality TV.
