About Nicholas
Maker of stuff. Lead designer by day. Hobbiest by night.
I’m not sure if I knew early on I wanted to get into design, or I just wanted to create cool graphics for the various esports teams I led. I started with web programs like picnik, and shortly moved over to free pc programs like Gimp (I hope this doesn’t date me). As my experience grew, these programs just didn’t cut it. This led to me bootlegging Photoshop at the age of 15 and never looking back.
After graduating from SDSU I went on to work at BL3NDlabs where I’m currently the Design Lead.
Today I focus on creating products that better the lives of individuals all over the world. This means building inclusive communities, focusing on products that help balance economic inequalities and bringing accessibility to the forefront.
