Who is Nicole Plender?
I’m a true creative centipede, someone who doesn’t fit into one box. My artistic work spans across multiple disciplines, including painting, etching, clothing design, furniture, lighting, and even natural memorial signs. I’m inspired by contrast, and I enjoy bringing together seemingly unrelated fields.
My interests extend far beyond art. I have a deep passion for sports, and I’ve walked over 50 catwalks and photoshoots as a model. I hold a degree in Engineering Physics, work professionally in Project Management within the high-tech industry, and also freelance as a model scout.
What sets me apart is how I blend all these experiences into my creative work. I love combining my technical background, artistic vision, and people-focused skills into unique pieces, events, and collaborations. The result is a wide-ranging body of work that challenges conventions, bridges worlds, and connects people.
What’s important to me?
My designs are a reflection of who I am, but they never stand alone. They are always rooted in respect, shaped by unique ideas, thoughtful solutions, and carried out with professionalism.
I place great value on creating a safe, respectful working environment where people feel seen, heard, and appreciated for their craft and effort. It's a space where norms and values matter, where creativity and emotion are welcome, and where collaboration is built on trust. For me, it’s never just about the image—it’s about the full experience that stays with you.
