Meet the Founder
Nicole Leandra Morris
Creative Director • Designer • Marketing Strategist
Nicole helps entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations achieve their goals.
Her specialty is in distilling value into a consumable message, and making it look like it’s coming from a million dollar company. She works closely with startup founders, growing businesses, and organization leads to identify and understand their vision and goals — and with it, develop a creative approach to communication with audiences: investors, partners, customers, potential talent, and their communities.
Her journey began in the DC metro area and led her to San Diego, where she played a role in the tech community’s growth. Now based in Virginia Beach, she continues to work with startups and businesses to achieve success.
