In the spirit of Raja, Nicole spends much of her free time at home trying to understand the behavior of her two- and four-legged family members.

His team created TVOKids.com, one of the first children’s websites, and he went on to lead digital content production at CBC for children and arts & entertainment. At Sticky Brain Studios, he focuses on creative development and production.

He’s still making things on screens, much to his children’s dismay!
