Hey there, I’m Nick. What’s your name?
I’m an award winning Creative Director working to disrupt design through innovative digital and physical experiences. I’m here to elevate brands so they can best empower and inspire people to explore the outdoors.
My many years of experience in the outdoor/athletic industry has given me the skills to help understand your audience, position yourself to expand awareness, drive sales, increase traffic, and create memorable and lasting work together.
I’ve worked across multiple disciplines of design ushering projects through from initial conception to brand positioning, strategy, art direction, branding, resource allocation, budgeting, and production. I encourage ideas from all team members, welcome out-of-the-box thinking, and always search ways to push the boundaries.
The outdoors takes up a major part of my personal life through skiing, mountaineering, rock climbing, and backpacking. I also teach beginner climbers and Wilderness First Aid courses in order to prepare people for outdoor adventures around the PNW.
Drop me a line. Send me a quick hello. I’d love to chat and see if we can find something to work together on.
