About

Why do we always write bios like somebody we don’t know is penning them? I had one like that for a while... this is my new one:

I began my career as a photographer and a designer. Midstream, I discovered an affinity for designing databases, enterprise web applications and managing the talented teams who make them work.

After a while, I thought it might be fun to learn advertising and find a way to re-insert myself into the creative establishment.

I have over twenty years experience designing exceptional customer experiences and award-winning campaigns that seamlessly integrate across web, broadcast, mobile, print and social.

Today I'm working to recognize, understand and codify the rapidly changing landscapes of our world and business models. I'm also trying to find time for making photographs again.

Some nice things nice people have
said about working with me...

Nick is one of the most talented people in the business. He has passion for the creative, a insatiable work ethic, and is truly a visionary in the interactive space. His work this year has won several industry awards and has helped Draftfcb to bring in new business based on his creative executions and strong client service skills.

As our Creative Director, Nick not only challenged us to think "outside the box", but at times even challenged us to question the box itself. Nick has changed how I approach and think about the digital experience.
Audrey Na, Sr. Art Director Amazon Web Services

I worked with Nick for over 3 years at Mediaphex/Wirestone and our collaboration extended to every type of project imaginable — photo shoots, web initiatives, c-level marketing campaigns, national pitch work, programming and concepting. He’s a leader that doesn’t micromanage, a manager that creates trust and dedication and above all, he has the unique ability to see around the corner for “what’s next” for his clients.

Nick knows how to shake up a creative department, knock off the dust and cobwebs and broaden everyone's thinking. He's permanently changed the creative department at Phinney Bischoff... His support of the creative department is ferocious. Nick stands up for his team and their work.

In my role as lead strategist, Nick and I collaborate on many projects and he is truly a joy to work with. He is smart, resourceful, hard-working and can be counted on to tackle anything thrown his way, regardless of the challenges. He brings a wealth of knowledge of the digital world and pushes the envelope with creativity endlessly. Indeed, every day I learn something new from Nick and am inspired to think outside of my already outside-of-the-box thinking.
Maya Babish, Senior Director of Corporate Marketing at Sierra Wireless
