Hi, I’m Nicole Yamamoto. Based between Vancouver and Seoul, I’ve spent the past five years collaborating with brands across fashion, beauty, film, and editorial spaces.
My creative approach is rooted in the idea that design should encourage reflection on the stories, identities, and cultural contexts it carries. I design with an understanding of how personal experiences shape our worldview.
I believe the strongest designs come from the things people feel most passionate about. Whether it’s niche hobbies, unique subcultures, devoted fandoms, or broader cultural movements, I aim to capture the essence and energy of these communities in designs that invite others into their world.
