Lately, I've been teaching

I’ve been lucky to teach over 400 students about design. I love it so much, I make a mixtape of their “walk up songs” and design an album cover each semester.

Not tryna brag, but they seem to like me

"If you ask Nick for help with something, even when you aren’t sure of what the problem is, he will help you figure it out!"

Student, Fall 2022

"He is a real teacher. He does a good job helping us as students understand the real world with real-world examples. Also, he's not lame like past teachers I've had. He's fucking hilarious and that only makes the class even more fun. "

Student, Fall 2022

"Nick has a deep understanding of every part of this field, incredible energy, and obvious love and dedication to teaching."

Student, Spring 2023

"The way Nick builds lessons around user stories/student needs is inspired. Real galaxy brain-level curriculum planning. They're also related in such a fun, engaging way that they will stick in my head forever. I also appreciated how comfortable he was at using my pronouns."

Student, Spring 2023

"Leads with vulnerability, explains complex things with clarity, gives thoughtful and genuine feedback. Nick is awesome."

Student, Fall 2023

"What an exceptional speaker and instructor. I wish all my past professors and teachers could articulate their thoughts and material as well as Nick. Even during days when I felt slow/tired/behind/not 100%, his attitude and energy would bring me back to life."

Student, Fall 2023

"Nick changed my life forever. He is the best teacher I've had in any institution in my entire life. One of the most incredible and dynamic people I've ever met. He's both knowledgeable and personable, which makes his teaching style super approachable and engaging."

Student, Summer 2018

“Nick showed me and the class more respect than any other teacher in my history of learning. I’d be shocked if Nick was not promoted to a global position in the next 5 years.”

Student, Summer 2018

"Nick is a truly inspirational instructor. He instilled a sense of confidence in me that I'll carry throughout my professional career. I can't say enough great things about him."
