Nic is a character designer and illustrator working to share dynamic and gestural characters with her audience. She loves graphic and exciting work; always pushing the limits of her abilities to create characters that pop off the page. An element of her work that she adores is her energetic lineart!
Nic is a natural born leader and educator, using her expertise in art to inspire the new generation of students and artists. Using her artistic skills in illustration as well as professional skills in communication and teamwork, Nic broke boundaries and founded her own Cartooning and Character Design curriculum at Ivy League Day Camp in Smithtown, NY.
Currently, she is illustrating for GG Entertainment in their new name: GOD GAUNTLET coming to Kickstarter in June 2024.
She is always willing to volunteer her time and efforts towards any artistic cause, especially to grow her network and expand her horizons. To build professionalism is one of her top priorities, and with that she believes she is destined to improve her portfolio.

I am an Illustration student with an emphasis in Visual Development and a minor in Creative Writing. While attending Ringling College of Art and Design, I have made myself an active student and volunteer on campus. I volunteer for incoming student events each spring, such as Accepted Students Day and the Ringling Open House. I dedicate my time towards the Illest of Illustration club, collaborating with the core members to fundraise for the club's annual Illest Gallery each fall. I am also a member of the RCAD WIA program and the incoming Sketchbook Club.
When first attending the school, I was awarded the Dean's Scholarship and the Horizon's Scholarship. I have worked to keep a high GPA and have therefore been on the President's List from 2023-2024.
