Hi, I’m Nick!

I’m a Senior Product Designer & Researcher with a background in education. Whether creating experiences for my students as a classroom educator or helping to build products for administrators, educators, and their students at Clever; I've always kept my decisions grounded in uncovering the needs, motivations and frustrations of those I serve.

Throughout my career I’ve developed an especially strong interest in user research. As a educator, this translated into me doing an ethnographic study on my 5th grade classroom for my master’s thesis. As a product designer and researcher at Clever, this looked like me acting as a research leader in helping educate the company on new methods as well as having the opportunity to do more dedicated research projects to help Clever answer some of its bigger questions.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my wife and daughter, playing music, cooking, and being outside enjoying nature.
