I am a dedicated and creative individual with a deep passion for animals and the arts. I find joy and inspiration in being around animals, especially my beloved dog Ronnie—a unique mix of beagle, dalmatian, and French bulldog—and my tuxedo cat Mini. I love sketching pets and capturing their personalities through illustration and photography. My background in Fine Art and Art & Design has shaped my skills in drawing, painting, and Adobe Creative Cloud platforms including Photoshop and Illustrator. I bring creativity, reliability, and strong interpersonal skills to every project, and I am committed to continuous learning and personal growth. Running Nicole B Studio lets me combine my artistic talents with my passion for animals, building meaningful relationships with clients and fellow creatives.
