Said about the work
“The taste and design were truly exceptional.”
“The Modern Renaissance theme gave us a strong way to connect many different parts of the AI ecosystem into one story.”
“Loved all the support, guidance from some of the best people at GMI Cloud in the past couple months.”
“The best playbooks aren't written down - they're built through conversations that surface insights in real time.”

Hi, I'm Nicole.
I run events and the SCALE startup program at GMI Cloud. I studied how people think and create together (HCI at UC San Diego), and now I design the rooms where they do it.
Off the clock, I write (my first essay: I wanna be a nerd, on Substack), keep my reading list on Curius, dance heels (danced at Griffith Observatory bc I like La La Land), hang off an aerial hoop, do BASI pilates, and vlog when life gets too wild (a year at 23). Jazz on repeat.
