Hi, I’m Nick:)

I am a UX/UI designer, Illustrator, problem solver, and all-around good guy:)

I focus my work on communication and minimalism.

How I Work

Consistency over intensity

When I encounter a problem that could be enhanced in terms of usability, aesthetics, or functionality, I naturally strive to find solutions. Inadequate design often leads to user disengagement, so it's crucial to prioritize understanding and addressing user needs with empathy and a user-centered approach. My goal is to serve as a guide, streamlining complex ideas into clear visions that facilitate seamless interactions. By decluttering experiences and focusing on users' requirements, I aim to create space for people to navigate comfortably. In essence, I organize to prioritize people's needs:)

  • I celebrate diversity, embrace communication across differences, find humor in challenges, and advocate for kindness and understanding.

    Im a super fan of companies that demonstrate genuine caring and social responsibility. This ends up working in their favor. Companies tend to be rewarded with increased brand loyalty, and greater profits.

  • Embracing the Ikigai philosophy, I strive to align my passion for creative guidance with addressing the world's need for love, support, and wisdom.

    Extensive travel across continents enriched my perspective, fostering openness and empathy. Returning to education sparked enthusiasm for problem-solving and community contribution.

    As an illustrator, I showcased compassion and growth through my art, emphasizing the importance of contributing to solutions. Transitioning to freelance design, I prioritized client collaboration, adapting to their needs and fostering continual improvement.

  • Running serves as meditative therapy, fostering both individual focus and communal support through shared challenges.

    Baking mirrors military discipline, blending creativity with scientific precision. Collaboration within the baking community enriches the process.

    Video games offer challenges, problem-solving, and fun, embodying the value of meaningful goals and perseverance through adversity.

  • Exploring music production, particularly in electronic genres, offers boundless creative expression and relaxation, serving as a source of joy and experimentation.

    Seeking connection and inspiration, I engage with sketching groups and social gatherings to combat isolation and foster creativity.

That’s not all! If you would like more information follow this link here.
