New Hire at SOVRN Creative

SOVRN Creative is growing once again, this time with the addition of Nicole Cahill to their staff as a graphic designer.

Nicole comes to SOVRN fresh out of Boise State University where she recently graduated with a BFA in Design. Not only does Nicole have a great eye, but her designs always have a strategic conceptual basis. When not immersed in the world of graphic art, Nicole likes to make extravagant cakes, attend music festivals and indulge her love of candy. She also has a passion for working with adults with disabilities, a job she did all through college.

Congratulations Nicole.
