Let’s make art together

  • Creativity at work

    Designed for teams who want to slow down, connect, and do something that doesn’t feel like another team building activity.

    Lunch sessions, workshops, and custom formats available.

  • Small-group creative sessions

    Intimate, low-pressure art-making for friends, families, and small teams.

    No experience needed. Curiosity helps.

  • Many hands, one piece

    Live-painted murals and large-scale co-creative experiences where everyone leaves their mark. Perfect for conferences, trade shows, company parties and large events.

  • A monthly experience where we gather to MAKE things. Learn more about it and see what we have on the books.

  • From idea to artwork

    Sometimes there’s a spark but no clear way to execute it yet. I work with individuals, teams, and organizations to translate ideas into murals, installations, and participatory creative experiences — shaping something new together.

Creative experiences designed to help people breathe, connect, and get out of their heads for a bit. Explore the various kinds of art experiences I facilitate or, we can co-create a custom one together.

the experience, by design

  • I create a safe, welcoming container where guidance meets play—so your crew can get out of their heads, trust their instincts, and explore without pressure or perfection.

  • Something shifts when we create alongside others. Ideas spark, walls come down, and what unfolds is shaped not just by you—but by the energy of the room. I’ll guide you to notice how you feel before, during, and after—no matter the experience.

  • I’m here to support, not steer. With a steady presence and thoughtful prompts, I keep things flowing while leaving plenty of room for your group’s voices and vibes to lead.

  • Come as you are. There’s no right way to make—just space to show up, take up room, and be present for whatever unfolds.

  • What starts here has a way of sparking something. Maybe it’s how your team connects, how you feel personally, or how you think and create moving forward. Wherever you begin—and wherever you go—I’m glad to be part of it.

The Process

Plan with Purpose

We start by getting clear on what this experience is really about—your people, your goals, the feeling you want to create—and design from there.

Build it Together

This is collaborative from the jump. We shape the experience together, blending your vision with my creative direction to make something that feels aligned and alive.

Details and Delight

From flow to materials to timing, I think through every detail—while weaving in moments of surprise, play, and a little bit of magic along the way.

Show Up and Create

When it’s go time, everything is set. I lead with confidence so your group can drop in, get present, and fully experience it.

Live Paint Experiences

Live community Paint Sessions

Hanna Daly of Hanna’s murals and I took to the Broadway Pier in collaboration with the San Diego Made Factory to provide attendees of one of the largest holiday markets in San Diego with an engaging, interactive art experience.

Everyone had the opportunity to make their mark over the course of two days to ultimately create a large piece of art, together.

Creative Team Building

Art + Mindfulness Experience | Cooley

Designed for high-performing teams who rarely pause, this experience invited people to slow down and reconnect—through art.

In this session, I guided participants through a series of creative, mindfulness-based prompts that encouraged presence, reflection, and expression. The process is simple, but the impact is lasting: reduced stress, deeper connection, and a shared moment that actually feels meaningful.

No artistic skill required—just a willingness to show up.

Team paint experiences

This is not a paint and sip.

I guide your group through a collaborative paint experience that encourages play, experimentation, and shared authorship. It’s hands-on, as messy as you like, and intentionally low-pressure—creating space for people to loosen up, release expectation, engage, and connect beyond their day-to-day roles.

Perfect for team off-sites, celebrations, or just breaking routine. Output options vary from large and small scale abstract pieces to tote bags and more.

  • "Creative, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what she does, Nicole facilitates in such a unique and creative way."

    - Past Creative Partner

  • "I am obsessed with the piece we created. It's massive and will hang in our office lobby proudly. It was so cool how Nicole integrated our company values and brand into the experience."

    - Former Creative Partner

  • "Nicole's attention to detail and artistic guidance was so unique. I've honestly never had an experience like it. My team is still talking about it."
