Nicole Rassmuson

Founding Partner

Nicole is an internationally known designer and art director who has worked in London, New York, Hong Kong, Stockholm, and Santa Fe. Her love for design stems from her multilingual background, which eventually led her to spend many years observing and learning the language of symbols and graphics. Alongside her primary discipline in visual communications, Nicole is a strategic thinker specialized in branding that combines design creativity with best entrepreneurial practice. In the past 30 years, she has created groundbreaking work for national and international clients including: the Victoria and Albert Museum, Stockholm University, the Henry and the Camille Dreyfus Foundation, and the Rockwell Group. She has created corporate identities, marketing and sales materials, and advertising programs for a range of commercial and non-profit organizations and manages multi-disciplinary marketing teams. She has been designing in Santa Fe for the past 18 years with brands such as Mix Santa Fe, The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission, Current Media Festival and New Mexico Tourism to institutions like Site Santa Fe, Performance Santa Fe, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and IAIA.

The art of noticing is to rediscover what really matters to you. In the era of white noise and distraction, the ability to experience and be present – to think and to see and to listen – is often lost. As a designer, I use a series of simple and playful exercises to help me become a clearer thinker, a better listener, and make my studio a more creative workplace. These practices allow me to identify what really matters when creating Designs that Move.

Following a national search for a website designer, we decided to hire a highly recommended local firm. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the new look of our site. We found Nicole to be a joy to work with. Our response from clients has been incredibly positive.

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Nicole. We hired Nicole and she produced a standout logo for our brand and provided a comprehensive brand manual. We were particularly impressed by her knowledge of current design trends and personalize them for our company. Nicole would be an asset to any creative team.

As a recent arrival to Santa Fe I went looking for a marketing firm that could help me communicate my vision for the new gallery I am opening. I was introduced to Artisan Minds and have enjoyed and benefited from working with Suzanne and Nicole. They are both personable and professional…a great combination.
