Hi, I'm Nicole Desaedeleer, an artist and designer with a cat, a growing collection of family recipes, and never enough houseplants.
I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2026 with a bachelors in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History, but I didn't go to university just to attend classes; I wanted to be a part of the community. During my time at Tech I was Treasurer then Vice President of our AIGA chapter and Lead Ambassador for the School of Visual Arts. I was also a TA for Gateway to Art and Design from 2024 to 2025.
My work is holistic because that's where my process starts; with a step back to see the bigger picture. I always consider multiple perspectives, experiences and modalities when designing to ensure my work is accessible and engaging for multiple audiences; not just the "average viewer."
In everything I create, I want to reward a second look.
Take a walk through my portfolio and let me know what you think.
