About

Nicole Ilagan is a graphic designer from Norwalk, CT and a senior at Western Connecticut State University (WCSU). She enjoys challenging projects and the satisfaction of achieving the vision and desired outcome for the client. However, in her spare time, Nicole steps away from her projects to spend time with her love and make sure she listens to Taylor Swift’s album at least twice in one day. Her biggest dream in life is to redesign Taylor Swift’s album covers from her entire music catalog. Nicole is expected to graduate on May 2021. She is currently working at University Publications & Design in Western Connecticut State University.
