Creative + Art Direction | Decidedly Human

Creative & Design

Hi! I’m Nick. An ecstatic eclectic, creative problem solver, brand builder, and a West Coast transplant. I’ve spent my career following the unconventional while maintaining a sense of mindfulness. Continuously looking for new ways to make a real impact and meaningful connection, personally and professionally. Me, but in list form: - Shameless in nudging creative corporate boundaries (respectfully + tactfully). - A diverse background—filled with scrappy can-do moments and a figure-it-out mentality. - Deeply human and dedicated to better understanding how and why we make decisions. - Boundlessly creative but ever mindful of client needs/business goals. - A delight to work with. - My dog thinks I'm awesome.

Dead Seagull was a clothing line and eco-minded brand I founded in 2010. I handled all of the design, illustration, and marketing for the company. Maintaining a distinct focus on the ocean and the surf / skate community it was a mechanism for social change. A subtle reminder to respect the world around us, while also balancing an edgier feel and voice in terms of merchandising. I chose to close the online shop and suspend pop-ups during the pandemic.
