Well, this is awkward...
So, this is the page where I talk about myself. It's rather difficult, being in the business of turning the lens outward and observing others.
​
If I were someone else writing about Nicole, I think I would have to mention that she is a textbook creative type with a passionate interest in the technical. She's very sociable, while also fiercely independent. Basically, Nicole is a walking paradox, and she believes it keeps her balanced and well-rounded (did I mention, she's a Libra?)
​
Nicole started off making magic trick videos with her dad at a very early age, scripting and shooting her first horror/mystery film at age 8. Enamored with visuals, she attended Ball State University, where she studied the art cinematography. After college, her grandfather-- a life-long photographer-- let her borrow one of his 35mm cameras, and she's been shooting on it ever since.
​
Soon, Nicole began to focus on directing, photography, and conceptualizing ideas. In 2022, she created an experimental portrait studio, which continues to be a practice in directing subjects in front of a lens, as well as a way to give back to her community.
​
She currently has three short films in post-production and is in early drafting stages of a feature-length script.
