Nicole founded YOLOTLI in 2012 with the goal to create designs that fit the zeitgeist of a sustainable lifestyle. She implements artisanal textile techniques and uses prime quality materials to handcraft contemporary, timeless and long-lasting designs in her studio in Napa, CA. She believes that the slow process of crafting reminds us of the maker's social and educational responsibility, especially in times of soulless mass production, throwaway culture and exploitation of the land and people.
