ABOUT Nolan
on a personal note
Hey everyone, I’m Nolan but my mom just calls me Nea. I’m 24 years old from Bozeman, Montana, where I learned both the value of hard work, but also how to balance working while still enjoying the simple things in life too. I lived in Milan, Italy for nearly three years while I attended school, and in the meantime became a lover of arts and learned to make a damn good pasta. I live with my girlfriend in Boston with our two cats, Apollo (Paul) and Willow. You can find me up early on Saturday mornings watching Liverpool flame out spectacularly. Up the Reds!
education and Professional Acumen
I was educated at Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan, Italy where I earned a degree in fashion design. This education allowed me to develop a broad skillset including artistic direction/research, technology of materials/materials research, fashion illustration, the Adobe Suite, Clo3D, Technical Drawing and CAD, technical sheet creation, pattern making, prototyping, tailoring, photography and so on. My versatile technical skillset and my open minded attitude mean that while my background is in fashion design, all areas of clothing, apparel, activewear, footwear and accessories seem very approachable as well. I firmly believe that all experiences are valuable and so I am just as comfortable in a design office of a couture house as I am designing Futbol kits or fishing pants.
