The smack happy curated art showIn the heart of San Francisco, where creativity meets technology, Smack Happy Design unveils a passion project that reimagines the art show. A pioneering virtual gallery experience, The Smack Happy Curated Art Show curated by Smack Happy Design Founder, Nicole Hanusek, bridges the gap between art enthusiasts and the vibrant Bay Area community.

The genesis of this show traces back to Nicole’s dual identity as both a business owner and an artist. Straddling the line between these worlds, she found herself yearning for a deeper connection to the art that had always been her first love. The Smack Happy Curated Art Show is her bold response to this calling—a platform that not only showcases art but also nurtures a community of artists, businesses, and art lovers. It’s an exclusive, invite-only art show that unfolds digitally, accessible through the websites of select Smack Happy clients and referral partners. This model offers a unique, interactive experience, transforming the way we discover and engage with art.

Participants embark on a digital scavenger hunt, navigating through a curated list of websites to uncover artworks hidden in plain sight. Each piece, selected for its unique narrative and connection to the Bay Area, is a testament to the region’s diverse artistic talent. This show is an opportunity to explore, connect, and celebrate the innovative spirit that defines San Francisco’s art scene.

As we prepare to launch this digital experience, we invite art enthusiasts to RSVP, embarking on a journey that promises discovery, engagement, and the chance to support local artists.

I started my digital life in 2007, writing and managing content for lifestyle publications covering motorcycles, golf, and winter sports. The team I worked alongside went on to become executive producers, podcasters, cinematographers, and senior designers. That environment taught me to move fast, stay curious, and figure things out as I go. It's where I discovered that digital publishing, marketing, and web design are all parts of the same puzzle, and I've been rearranging the pieces ever since.

For over fifteen years, I've worked as an extension of my clients' marketing teams across industries ranging from executive recruitment and telecom to healthcare, legal services, and nonprofits. The specific sector changes; the job doesn't. Say what you mean, make it easy to find, and build something that actually works for the people using it.

I'm a refined yinzer, a proud RMU alumna (Go Colonials), and my son's biggest fan. I think in systems, celebrate neurodivergent thinking, and practice festina lente, which is a fancy way of saying I believe in doing things right instead of doing them fast. I'm also the person most likely to disappear into a Sleep Token rabbit hole when I should be doing something else.

Everything I know about doing good work comes down to one Pittsburgh proverb: don't be a jagoff.
