Nicholas

Hi, I’m Nick. I create awesome. My journey into design began with the discovery of comic books at age 12. I love the vibrant colors and compelling stories. I‘ve been a professional graphic designer and fine artist since 1998 and I have been drawing in some capacity or another most of my life. Professional turn-ons include: working with small businesses, gourmet foodies, and local non-profits. I like to help folks with their graphic design, illustration, branding, art direction, and creative strategy needs. I’ve spent most of my career freelancing and building an in-house graphic design department from the ground up. Other things I love: illustrating my dreamlike ideas, photographing whatever captures my imagination, watching Netflix, eating cookies, and improv.

As I was exploring … Read more
