COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST | CARDIFF, UK
Making complex information clear through slides, sites, and social
Slide Decks & Presentations
I love a slide deck (no, seriously I do!) and I enjoy nothing more than taking information heavy data and turning it into something easy to understand and use. Whether it’s explaining diabetes management pumps, a large scale aviation company relocation or helping people understand what a PAC code is. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of helping people learn and understand without being overwhelmed.
Website Management
WordPress is my CMS of choice and I’ve built dozens of websites using this platform. My first WP website was for Crafter guitars and my latest was a revamp for EvergreenWales. I also built and managed a variety of music related websites including The UK Drum Show and MIN plus many others.
At Bearmach I completely re-designed the UI and UX for a brand new website that was built on a bespoke vehicle search platform. I designed all the main pages including the home page, category pages, product and brand pages and consulted on the payment system UX. I also created a WordPress portal for Land Rover enthusiasts where they could listen to our in-house podcasts, read brand ambassador stories, find upcoming events and buy merchandise.
I was also contracted to help with the large-scale migration of hundreds of pages and interactive lessons for an American membership learning platform at 4-H.org which was relaunched in 2023.

Social Media & Video Content
When Instagram pivoted to video-first content, I heard a collective sigh from clients who were already overwhelmed by their social media obligations. I offered to make this easier for them with easy-to-shoot ideas, custom brand animations and guidance on what makes people stop to watch. I now offer this service to local trade businesses who are often time poor but eager to stay ahead of the digital game.
Logo Design & Branding
I’ve designed a few logos for music brands including The UK Drum Show and Music Instrument News (MIN). The Drum Show was inspired by the ‘Rock On’ hand shape with drumsticks as I often saw kids making these signs with their favourite artists in photos. The MIN logo was inspired by digital music waves and colours displayed on an amp. I’ve also created logos for local businesses including gas engineers, landscapers and organic food brands which have featured in Tesco.
About Me
Hi I’m Nicole and I’m a Communications Specialist in Cardiff.
If you’ve read this far, hello!
I’m currently a freelancer who works with a variety of businesses to help them navigate the digital jungle with ease! I mostly work with local businesses who need that extra help with their online presence. I build their websites, start their social media channels, link up their emails and provide advice to those who just don’t know where to start. Filling those gaps for businesses who are too busy doing their job to worry about their online presence. If that’s you? Let’s talk!
