Distinguished Alumni Award

Nichole Rouillac Awarded with Academy of Art's Distinguished Alumni Award

level's Founder and Creative Director, Nichole Rouillac, has been honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Academy of Art University this year.

This award celebrates graduates who have made meaningful contributions to the arts and creative industries. Reflecting on her experience, Nichole shared:

“Core skills are expected from any school. What’s unexpected is the deep thinking, the questioning, and the storytelling - the why behind the design: why a product should exist in the world, and why that story matters. That foundational understanding of how to explain the design journey started at the Academy. In the end, it’s what helps our designs and clients succeed in the real world.”

Congratulations, Nichole, and thank you for continuing to raise the bar for design excellence.
