about

Web Dev / Graphic Designer / Lifelong Learner

Hey, I'm Nicholas, I have a knack for turning ideas into digital media with soul.

Whether I'm designing websites or marketing collateral, I do so with the intent of creating something that's not only visually pleasing, but genuine. I'm no stranger to Adobe Creative Cloud or Figma, still, I like to begin all of my projects in my good, old-fashioned sketchbook.

When I'm not busy working, I'm spending time with what matters most, family and friends.
