About

Amber is a Rhode Island based artist, creative director, and founder of Nico Scout, a South Kingstown, R.I. creative & strategy studio, event space, and concept shop rooted in independent culture and community.

Nico Scout started in 2018 as a concept shop replicating the aesthetic of a storefront found on suburban main streets or city neighborhoods from the 1970s through the 1990s and being located in an original drive-up shopping plaza from the 1960s only added to it. But once you stepped inside it was something else entirely. A mix between a city artist studio, a greenhouse, and an intentionally built space that was clearly the creation of no one but its owner. 

Since then, Nico Scout has evolved into a creative & strategy studio, a low key event space with a "living room & basement vibe", and a smaller concept shop focused on art books, houseplants, and Nico Scout merch & collaborations.

Amber's background spans the creative industries in Boston and NYC, nonprofit work with arts organizations and public and private education, and 8+ years running both a physical and e-commerce business serving customers globally. She's been on every side of the content creation and curation process and brings humor and a long standing background in mentorship to every client partnership.

Amber studied drawing, ceramics, printmaking, and animation at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and holds a BFA from Tufts University.
