Name Dropping

Hi, I'm Nicole Brown. Educated in art history and graphic design, I got my start at a shop in Glendale called Uniscan Graphics. This is important because they had their presses right there so I learned exactly what happens once the design is done. I did blue-lines and press proofs and spent hours learning why the details of mechanicals are important to the finished product. 

I moved on to work freelance at Paramount Pictures and advertising agencies before landing at Mattel. I worked on licensed Disney and Nickelodeon projects, as well as Hot Wheels and Barbie products, and I really got to see how to work in a corporate environment. Additional Disney product and packaging freelance work followed until I joined former bosses at Jakks Pacific in Malibu. This threw me into packaging and prototype development for Toy Fair in New York every year, and I saw toys go from concept to shelf at stores like Target in a matter of months.

Hungry for more, I became part of an ad agency in Venice called Levine and Company. This boutique agency gave me the opportunity to oversee projects and designers, as well as meet with various clients and coordinate a variety of vendors while keeping everyone on time and on budget. Being a part of entire campaigns honed my marketing chops enough that when the firm moved to New Mexico, I was able to break out on my own and become a Marketing Strategist with tons of experience in design.

For more than 10 years, I worked remotely as the Senior Communications Designer with Captivate Media, serving clients small and large. I had start-ups, big companies, and mom-and-pop shops. I was responsible for all cross-platform creative to be utilized through print, web, and social media. This wide-ranging role included designing entire new brand identities to tactical marketing plans intended to expand a client’s social presence.

What all this means to you is that by hiring me, you get it all in one package: Creative ideas and design, thorough experience and knowledge, and mad computer skills.
