In My Own Words
Hi, I'm Nick, a designer from the southern California area. Growing up, I've always loved action sports like dirt biking, skateboarding, mountain biking, and the arts, all of which allow creativity and being active in nature. I aim to bring this perspective of sports and art into my design work and create things that solve my client's problems in a professional, functional, and inspiring way.
