I'm a clarity engine for messy workflows.
Before I open Figma, I practice mise en place.
It's a baking principle: everything prepped, measured, and staged before the mixing begins. I bring the same ritual to photography (scout before you shoot), travel (plan A always has a plan B), and product design (research and alignment before a single pixel). I take my hobbies seriously, which is really just another way of saying I care about craft in everything I do.
About Nick
I'm a product designer who lives at the intersection of complex systems and clear outcomes. I work in legal tech at Relativity, where I've spent 6+ years untangling enterprise workflows for users who can't afford confusion. My partners will tell you I always explain the why behind design decisions, because shared understanding ships faster than assumptions.
My foundation is in illustration, photography, and visual design. I came to product design through graphic design and still practice both: I design custom stickers and merchandise for Relativity's annual conference, shoot and style food photography, and keep a creative practice outside of work that keeps my eye sharp and my sense of composition intentional.
How I work
Built to Facilitate
I love getting people in a room and helping them articulate what they actually need. Workshops across Sydney, Chicago, and London have directly shaped the products I design.
Evidence Over Ego
Research that answers a decision, not just fills a deck. I pair findings with visible decision logs so the team can move faster next time around.
Craft in Everything
The composition I think about when styling a photograph is the same composition I bring to a data table. My creative practice and my product work aren't separate things.
