Every Consideration with Nicole Lissenden

Meet Nicole Lissenden, our Head of Design and the creative genius behind the magic of our color stories. At East Fork, Nicole dreams up our seasonal glaze pairings and brings them to life in our launch photography, but the source of her creative inspiration starts away from her desk. Looking at art, letterpress printing, being in nature with her family, sketching strangers in coffee shops - it all inspires the artistic point of view she brings to the brand.

At East Fork, we’re endlessly fascinated by the creative process, so we took a trip to Nicole’s Asheville studio to get a look inside her artistic approach.

For our first installment of Every Consideration, our Founder and CEO, Alex Matisse, sits down with Nicole over a cup of tea to explore the art-making process, uncover sources of color inspiration, and discuss the reality of work-life balance and the pursuit of creative freedom.
