NICOLE JONES STURK

DESIGNER & ILLUSTRATOR

SURFACE PATTERNS / LETTERING / CRAFTS / ADULT COLORING / GRAPHIC DESIGN

Hello, and welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy browsing my portfolios.

I am a mother, wife, designer, and artist. Since I started freelancing, I have been living the dream of staying home to take care of my family, while also doing the work that I love!

As you can see, I have a strong background in art and design. I graduated with honors from BYU-Idaho in 2005 with a BA in art. My illustration style is fun, whimsical, and colorful. I love to work with florals, seasonal and holiday themes, typography and hand lettering, and intricate designs. My work is especially suitable for things like...

• surface patterns

• greeting cards

• arts and crafts products

• home decor

• children's illustration

• adult coloring pages

I also have years of experience in book design and typesetting. I have previously worked for over a decade as an in-house book compositor at Jouve North America (formerly NK Graphics) doing page layout for both trade and text books. In that time, I had the opportunity to work on projects from a variety of publishers, including Scholastic, Penguin, and Bedford/St. Martin's. I especially love to work on children's and YA books. I still continue to work in book design as a freelancer.

FYI, I am a native English speaker working in the U.S. (MST). My main software experience is with Adobe software on a Mac platform, especially Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat. I also often use Procreate and Affinity Designer on the iPad.

Sincerely, Nicole
