Nicole believes in the power of design to reveal cultural narratives and enhance the story of place. She has led and collaborated on diverse multidisciplinary projects in the Bay Area, that celebrate these contextual narratives — from leading the visioning and design guidelines to transform an historic arts campus into mixed-use development and public open space in North Oakland, to leading the open space visioning and community-focused processes for a 80-acre mixed-use project in San José, and collaborating on community-driven pop-up parks in East Palo Alto. 

Nicole holds a Bachelors in Architecture and a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Nicole was nominated as an Olmsted Scholar in 2017 through the Landscape Architecture Foundation and received a ASLA Student Honor Award the same year. Prior to joining SITELAB, Nicole has worked in offices in St. Louis and San Francisco.
