I believe… 

“When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions.” – Steve Jobs

Nicole embodies this philosophy in her work, continuously seeking clarity and simplicity in solving the challenges of urban development, transportation planning, and community engagement.
