THE KIND OF WORK YOU SCREENSHOT.
THE KIND OF WORK YOU SCREENSHOT.
I'm Nick, a designer, motion artist, and creative strategist, wide awake since '08. I live in After Effects, Blender, Illustrator, and Photoshop, and I stay sharp with AI design tools because that's just the job now. Whether it's motion graphics, brand identity, or creative strategy, I show up with a point of view and the craft to back it up. Currently looking for a team that moves fast and cares about the work.

MOTION & ANIMATION
AE, Blender, and a genuine love for when a frame lands just right. Motion graphics, 3D animation, and visual effects built for broadcast, social, and whatever the algorithm loves this week.
BRANDING & IDENTITY
Illustrator, Photoshop, and 15 years of building brands from scratch. Logo systems, visual identities, poster art, and design that punches above its weight built for festivals, platforms, and artists.
CREATIVE DIRECTION
Strategy, concepting, photography, and videography backed by the ability to set a creative vision and actually see it through. Teams led, pipelines built, campaigns shipped that moved the needle.

I'm a designer, motion artist, and creative director with 15 years in the game. I've led in-house creative teams, launched campaigns, and built brands from zero.
I'm a designer, motion artist, and creative director with 15 years in the game. I've led in-house creative teams, launched campaigns, and built brands from zero.
I got my start making album covers and event posters for nightsclubs and artists across the Kitchener music scene. That world shaped everything. I grew up inspired by Jonathan Zawada, David Rudnick, Neil Krug, and Brian Roettinger, all legends in the electronic music design world. 🫡 Creatives who proved that great design could feel exactly like a perfectly timed drop: built with intention and impossible to ignore once it lands. That obsession never left.

That obsession never left.
I'm also a music producer and a dubstep & house obsessive, which means I spend a probably unreasonable amount of time thinking about why certain things hit and others just... don't. That same obsession with energy, timing, and feeling bleeds into everything I make. The best brands don't just look good, they resonate, and if yours isn't doing that yet, we've got work to do.
