About

Hi, I’m Nick. I am a proud multimedia designer with a passion for telling stories through data visualization, motion graphics, and other engaging design mediums.

With clear, accurate, and engaging storytelling in mind, I always look for ways to take proprietary data and maximize its visual potential through good UX/UI, infographics, motion graphics, and compelling design in general.

I currently work as a Senior Digital Designer at Forbes, focusing on UX/UI and motion graphics design for Forbes lists, editorial packages, premium articles, and social media. I have also contributed writing and design to MTV News, Movies.com, Film.com, and The Post & Courier.

I recently settled right outside of New York City in Bergen County, NJ with my wife and two kids. When I’m not building block forts at home with my two boys, I can often be found attending live music and comedy shows or trying to rewatch David Lynch movies.

Skill set:
Creative Direction, Art Direction, Editorial Judgment, Motion Design, Branding, Collaboration, Organization, Photo-illustration, Data Analysis, Writing and Reporting.

Tools of my trade:
Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Sketch, After Effects, InDesign, Premiere, Final Cut Pro X, G Suite, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Digital Photography, and Digital Illustration.

Media proficiency in:
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Vimeo, Infogr.am, Flourish, Data Wrapper, Ceros, Canva, InVision, HTML and Wordpress.
