Meet our people.

We think “creative” is a requirement, not a role. Whether it’s strategy, writing, design, back end development,

project management or even a CMO, our deep bench of talent uses creativity in every aspect of their approach.

We’re happy to introduce them here.

We asked our new team members: What work might we recognize, and at which brands did you make a difference?

Nick is most known for his work on Comcast/Xfinity where he was an integral part of rebranding during a time when they struggled with likability and memorability, both of which were greatly improved by the body of work created.

More recently, Nick has made work for Apple for both iPad and Apple WATCH product launches. His work for Apple Watch spoke to the emotional side of people’s relationship with technology.

When I boil what I do down to its most essential part, what I'm left with is this: I make meaning.

My broad set of skills seem to really sing in the space where strategy, language, and product experience meet.

Some of my favorite projects include building the Waze brand from scratch when the company was just a wee little startup, shaping brand strategy for Metromile, the first pay-per-mile car insurance, doing content design at Microsoft, naming devices and features at Amazon, and working with dozens of early-stage tech startups to help them create brands that people love.

I'm a skilled strategist, strong writer, even better editor, and love nothing more than ideating to bring an abstract idea down into the world for powerful effect.

Rolling Stone Magazine: During covid shutdowns, a lot of people were trying creative ways to bring live music back. But online concerts and social distancing concerts felt cold and soulless. Partnering with Rolling Stone, we developed the "Rooftop Sessions". A music festival on different rooftops across NYC so people could enjoy live music from the comfort of their apartment windows.

Amazon: I was a creative lead for the Amazon Social content lab where we were asked to ideate, produce, and test several different styles of content. This was part of a larger initiative to see what kind of social content tested best with our audience.

OutSystems: I oversaw the rebrand of OutSystems as a whole as well as the branding of their two large scale global tech conferences (NextStep and ONE Conference).
