About
Nicole Robichaud, art director/designer
I have been designing for over twenty years. My expertise is in brand identity design, logo, catalog, book, packaging, event design including large format graphics and campaigns. Over my tenure I have become a consultant in the specialty food world with specialized skills in packaging and FDA guidelines. I am best known for my fun color palettes, hand lettering and down-to-earth design aesthetic.
My career began in the specialty foods industry with Zingerman’s, which fueled my love for vintage, unconventional and bold design. While there, I was instrumental in creating an experience with every design detail. As the design manager of the in-house team, I directed and managed many projects including corporate brand design, catalogs, newsletters, books, packaging, in-store graphics, websites and more!
Since then, I have expanded my skills by designing for a collection of home services brands–Threshold Brands. Some key projects are trade show designs, franchise marketing kits, advertisements and landing pages.
When I am not working, I enjoy weight lifting, running, baking and being outside as much as I can with my family and dogs. I enjoy art collaborations with my daughter and fellow artists too!
