Nik Parasole
Graphic Designer + Growl Girl
I am an accomplished and highly creative graphic designer, with a solid record of accomplishment in apparel graphics, vendor relationships, concept design, and trend forecasting.
While growing up in the suburbs of NYC, I dreamt of meeting Andy Warhol and working at The Factory! When this didn’t happen, I attended FITNYC, my summers were spent painting leather jackets, and working as a shampoo girl, (a very cool shampoo girl). After a short 'finding myself' traveling stint I accepted a freelance design position at Disney Consumer Products in NYC. This experience began my love of and career in consumer products.
Fun Fact: I have a French tattoo, but I don’t speak French.
I am an unapologetic Hibernophile + Anglophile, animal lover, and Rick Springfield devotee, (see pic)
Music (from The Stooges to Shirley Bassey) has always been a passion of mine, so the ability to create merch and identity for bands Is my dream.
Admittedly, I'm not your average bear, and I walk to the beat of my own drum, but generally I don’t take myself too seriously.
