Hi, I’m Nick! I am an Australian designer
based in New York, interested in the
intersection between product design,
sustainability, emerging technologies,
and social issues. I am currently a senior
in the BFA Product Design program at
Parsons School of Design. In my spare
time I enjoy playing basketball, cooking,
creative writing, and playing saxophone.
