Nicole Rademacher is a self-proclaimed artist, polyglot, promoter of polyglot-ism and creative-ness. A bit of a nomad Nicole was born in Milwaukee, raised in Charlotte, and has lived in Chicago, Nantes, Barcelona, and Santiago de Chile. If you ask her she will tell you that she is interested in communication and thus miscommunication, but really her interest is in perception.
