Hey, how’s it going? I’m Nicole Budicin.

I am a copywriter with over 5 years of advertising agency experience, partnering with a variety of brands to concept and develop original, impactful, human-insight driven copy across multiple channels. I have proven ability in interpreting creative briefs independently, collaborating cross-functionally, and leading copy that is both on-brand and on-strategy from idea inception through final production. I am driven by curiosity, collaboration, and creativity, with a passion for turning aha moments into ta-da concepts. Hey, at the end of the day, my goal is to make great work with great people and have a great time doing it.  
Currently based in Chicago, I am open to relocation.
