Hello! My name is nicole, also known as ARTIST Founder, lucky star ai Consultant AI & blockchain STRATEGIST
FORMAL EDUCATION M.B.A. Global Enterprise Management b.a. Social & Cultural Studies I am a Responsible AI Strategist, AI Strategy Consultant, and Multidisciplinary Creative Director working to blend the worlds of art, technology, and collective expression. I have a sustained practice of artistic discovery and continue to push the limits of digital media through intentional storytelling, visual direction, and applied AI strategy. About Me
I was academically trained in art, but life’s twists early on led me to roles as an English teacher in Japan, a Fortune 500 Allocator, and a Junior Sourcing Manager, where I honed skills in communication, systems thinking, and leadership. After a period of personal healing and rest, I returned to my original focus and stepped into the art world through web3, merging creative practice with emerging technology to share my work more directly. My work has since been at NFT NYC 2025, including selection for the AI Art Artist Showcase and Times Square billboard, and at Future Frames at the University of Maryland, which highlights new approaches to film and digital storytelling. I have also exhibited at Nairobi Design Week 2024 and 2025 and participated in the Blockchain Futurist Conference, alongside other global gatherings that explore Web3, AI, and next‑gen creative practice.

My work sits where art, AI, and blockchain overlap, building digital pieces that trace how people express themselves, remember, and connect. Projects often begin with a small question or tension and develop through research, play, and iteration until the form feels true to the idea. Much of my focus is on how tools like machine learning and decentralized systems can hold lived moments, references, and signals from everyday life without reducing them to simple data points. Attention to structure, rhythm, and detail always present, so each work feels deliberate yet leaves enough space for you to experience in your own way. Education, public experiments, and transparent process are woven into my practice, whether in talks, workshops, or making work in visible, shared spaces. My intention is that people use these projects as a lens: to notice how technology shapes their own habits, memories, and choices, and to carry that awareness into the systems they build, support, and move through in their everyday lives. My mission – Designing Durable Digital Futures Lucky Star
I use commercially licensed tools and work with intention. My creative process centers on care, clarity, and thoughtful engagement with generative technology. I stay mindful of evolving standards to ensure my work reflects both vision and respect. How I Create
