Nick is a native of Rochester, NY, with a lifelong passion for creativity that blossomed during his childhood. He excelled in art classes throughout high school and received numerous awards for his talent, blending artistic expression with technological innovation.
His academic journey began at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where he started studying software engineering. However, he soon realized he needed a creative outlet to complement his technical skills. This epiphany came during his internship at Xerox, prompting him to switch his major to Human-Centered Computing. In a pivotal class, he discovered the field of UX design, which redefined his career aspirations. His goal became to design visually engaging and user-friendly interfaces, leading him to explore the front-end side of software development.
Nick gained practical experience through his work with JDOCS, a startup focused on e-discovery tools. Participating in RIT’s student startup program, he spent a semester and summer deepening his front-end development skills and gaining valuable insights into legal product design. This combination of technical and creative expertise has made Nick a versatile designer with a talent for creating intuitive user experiences.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Nick draws inspiration from nature and an active lifestyle. He enjoys skiing, playing tennis, and spending time with friends, thriving on connection and adventure. His motto, “Looks good, works good,” reflects his design philosophy: to create solutions that are as functional as they are visually appealing.
