It all started when…

I was 2 and my Dad bought me my first tool set. They were real tools!

Nicole Deline is a sculptor, furniture builder and builder of things.
She practices architecture and design at Studio Deline in Barrio Logan where she in addition to designing, teaches welding.
 
Nicole began her career in art, obtaining an undergraduate degree from San Diego State in fine art with an emphasis in sculpture. She went on to work for herself in the field of interior finishes while accepting sculpture commissions of varying scales as they came. She decided it was time to go back to school and earned a Masters of Architecture from the Newschool of Architecture and Design 2007. She also taught metal sculpture at the UCSD Crafts Center for eight years.
 
Nicole’s passions lie in designing and building, not designing alone. She loves to have tools in her hand to actually be apart of the execution.
