Nicole Viccari Email & Phone Number

I'm a North Carolina native who loves horror movies, strong coffee and Adobe everything. Over the past thirteen years I've worked in the creative industry with a focus in digital design, concept development, commercial photography and image editing. My love for design really began at a young age with collecting old books to study the unique type faces on the pages. Doodling on any and everything I could get my hands on, not much as changed since then. In my mid-20s I started a small creative and retro pinup photography studio out of Fayetteville, NC. This was where I really discovered my love for working with clients and how creating art can literally change someone's life. After working in a handful of local print shops learning production and getting a 'hands on' education with the Fast Signs franchise, I finished up my Associate's degree in Graphic Design. In 2012, I moved to Rahway, New Jersey just outside NYC to work in the fast paced jewelry industry as a commercial photographer. After six months, I transitioned into the role of art director where I continued doing graphic design, photography and digital marketing for our in-house brands; Novell Design Studio, Lieberfarb and Robert Manse Designs.Currently I reside back in my home state of NC in the role of Digital Media Administrator managing all product and lifestyle photography, digital media and social media content curation alongside our marketing team. We house a variety of brands including Carolina Cooker, Agri Supply and Carolina Covers just to name a few. Although my past seems to have become a dabble of this and a dab of that over the years, to me it's all about having that real world insight. Seeing a problem and solving it in a different way than most people. I think it all boils down to one thing...Passion.Now the Technical Stuff: - 13+ Years experience using the amazing Adobe Creative Cloud products- Over 10+ Years experience in image retouching, including high-end fashion & diamond jewelry editorials- 3+ Years creating social media content for multiple brands and managing weekly posts for each- Experienced art director and project manager lead with creative teams- Strong focus in Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom & Premiere Pro- Great communication skills & understanding of content curation to meet tight deadlines- Strong design capabilities in both digital ads, print and social media markets - Experienced copy writer and editor
