ABOUT ME
NICOLE BUNYATOV
I’ve never understood why science and art must be mutually exclusive categories. I love painting just as much as I love statistics, I crave sculpting just as much as I crave research and I need my sketchbook just as much as I need programming. In kindergarten my teacher asked me what job I wanted to do when I grew up and I told her I had a whole list. Now, I’m trying my best to keep that as a promise to my younger self, so I’ll never abandon any of my curiosities and broad interests for the sake of “being sensible.” That curiosity, and passion for all areas of study has visibly made me a more thoughtful learner, compassionate designer, and ingenuitive mind, no matter what I’m doing.
