About Nick
I am a designer and brand strategist based in New Haven, CT. I bring empathy, optimism, and a delight in the details to every project I work on — creating moments of authentic joy and connection between progressive brands and their audiences.
My background in campaigns, strategic communications, and designs infuses everything I do — I take an audience-first approach to create measurable impact. In my free time, I serve as president of the board of the New Haven Port Authority. I currently live in New Haven and can most often be found playing board games, illustrating train stations, tweaking my Christmas playlist, or making pancakes.
