About Nicholas
As a product designer I'm the happiest when I oversee research, strategy and design while staying in file to ship best-in-class products. I’ve worked with startups and Fortune 1000 companies to establish and refine design processes from project kickoff through development handoff. Currently working remotely from San Diego, CA.
I began my design career at age 15 when I 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 and diving into the endless library of Youtube tutorials.
I decided to turn this childhood passion into a career attending San Diego State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Graphic Design.
Since graduating I've had the opportunity to work with multiple startups on 0-to-1 projects, taking ideas to shippable products.
