About Me
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Ashley and I'm a visual artist. I have dedicated my time to learning and improving my craft for the past 11 years. This is my gift and sharing how I see the world is my passion. For you, my goal is to spark an emotional connection with your audience using color and design. So your project is SEEN and not softly passed by.
I'm not shy about making you look your best and communicating with you throughout the process. I love sharing laughter and hearing stories so much that I started out as a hairstylist. Another kind of design I still enjoy doing 13 years later (and a nice break from remote computer work). You can trust me with your story too.
*Keep reading! Feedback from past clients and teams can be found at the bottom of this page.*
I've worked with many genres including: education, history, sci-fi, fantasy, steampunk, and even cartoon strips. I've helped others get their stories noticed by adding professional value. Well-placed special FX have helped too. Design and color communicates and connects with the people who need what you're offering!
I frequently travel and find endless inspiration from my adventures. From architecture in big cities like New York, Chicago, and LA to the natural world found in tiny towns like Cayucos, Etna and Portola. My work has also evolved through many different disciplines like cosmetology, landscape design, construction, and animation. You can be sure I'll deliver value to your project with innovation alone!
I'm currently scheduling commissions and contracts. Please contact me for consultations!

Colorist/ Production Artist - AOTHO graphic novel
“Ashley Nichole is one of those rare creative people that is always a pleasure to work with. She always takes and gives direction with complete, professional poise. She is attentive, diligent, and utterly devoted and enthusiastic toward the task at hand. Working with her has been a pleasure and I’m fairly certain our professional relationship has spoiled me by raising my expectations too far any future collaborators to reach from the start.”

Colorist/ Background Designer - Promotional 2D animation
“Ashley consistently provided excellent work on a project within a very small timeframe; she was extremely reliable on the quality of work and flexible in her artistic abilities, working as both the Colorist and Background Designer simultaneously. She also assisted in keeping the rest of the team goal oriented as Production Manager.
Ashley is very talented in her use and understanding of color, has a strong foundation in solid design and perspective, and is dependable and driven in her professional artistic career. I would recommend her for any project in need of a reliable artist.”
