About

Multidisciplinary designer, connecting strategy, design & technology, with over a decade of experience working across agency and enterprise teams. Recent work spans regulated fintech product design, leading enterprise rebrands, and creating foundational design systems, building recognition and long-term relationships across my industry.

Beyond client work, I am building a marketplace for event and wedding website templates. I was recognised as one of 10 global winners in Framer's AI Agent Hackathon. I also create educational design content on YouTube and maintain an active presence in the design community, contributing to conversations around our rapidly changing industry.

Testimonials

“Nick joined us mid-2025 to lead design on ThirdEye's complete rebrand, one of the biggest and most important projects of the year for us. What immediately stood out was Nick's flexibility and commitment. Working remotely with a distributed team across Australia, New Zealand, the UK and India, he structured his schedule to work primarily nights, creating overlap with our working hours.

Nick was integral to developing our new visual identity from our brand positioning work. Partnering with our New Zealand-based brand agency, he contributed both strategically and practically, helping translate our new positioning into a distinctive, ownable visual system. From August onwards, his focus shifted to implementation, and the breadth of what he delivered is quite remarkable.

Responsive website design, sales collateral, social media assets, document templates, email signatures, photography and videography guidelines, event materials from branded coffee cups to backwalls. If it needed designing, Nick designed it.

Beyond the creative output, Nick established the systems that will serve us long-term. He built comprehensive, organised template libraries in Figma for our development and marketing team to use, which has been critical for maintaining consistency as we scale.

Nick is also simply excellent to work with: collaborative, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting things right. I'd work with him again without hesitation.”

Piet van der Boer

Senior Marketing Manager, ThirdEye

Nick is incredible to work with. He took the time to understand my work, personality and audience, and how I wanted that to be expressed in a new brand. He was able to distill all of my ideas into a perfectly simple design that shone across multiple assets and platforms—from the logo and wordmarks to video graphics and thumbnails. Nick’s an expert in everything design but also a great communicator, which made the whole process fun and efficient.
