Nicole Simon
Creative Director
Helena, MT, USAI fancy myself a passionate, highly tolerant and relatively fearless individual. I seek genuine communication and accomplishment, and I welcome a good challenge.
My work background features a prominence in publication design, packaging, illustration, and brand management. I've also acquired an understanding of social media management and marketing, branding, simple web design, writing, and other various design ventures.
Your story is your own, I'm just here to help you tell it.
