Meet the Founder
Nicole Leandra Morris
Creative Director, Designer, Marketing Strategist
Nicole is passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed. She works with businesses and organizations to achieve their goals.
Her specialty is in distilling vision 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 value, vision, and end goal — and with it, develop a creative approach to communication with audiences, including 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 pivotal role in the tech community’s growth. Now based in Virginia Beach, she continues to work with startups and businesses to achieve success.
