Other awards include equally important advertising festivals D&AD, One Show, CLIO, Effie, New York Festivals, London Festival, El Ojo and Brazilian Creative Club Award.
Passionate about visual and entertainment narratives of all kinds and everything that brings sophistication, fineness and fun to image, Nicole always knew she wanted to go beyond the basic, specifically in seeking for new techniques, resources and talents and expanding her work through a delicate and smart look at creativity in production
Nicole is also an active member in several initiatives of women market leaders that promote gender relevance in institutions and supports socio-cultural initiatives.
Nicole is a nature, sports, travel and photograph lover, and lives in Sao Paulo with her husband and daughter.
