My experience spans from designing, fabricating, and selling physical products for the home—playing a key role in the creation and on-boarding of items for the likes of Shutterfly, Urban Outfitters, and Pendleton—to applying that same meticulous thinking to operational challenges. I leverage my expertise to streamline processes and foster efficiency within the internal workings of diverse organizations. For me, optimizing workflows and improving internal systems is an extension of the design process; identifying friction points, ideating solutions, and implementing systems that genuinely enhance the user—or team—experience. Whether the outcome is a beloved physical product or a more efficient operational pipeline, my goal remains to deliver impactful solutions through a design-led approach. Nick is currently the Design Operations Lead for the Global Brand Creative team at Motorola Solutions, Inc.

Visible Vinyl - Record Security The edge treatment and thickness, as well as depth of shelf, needed to work in sync to stand up record sleeves of variable thicknesses. The front lip needed to be tall enough to stop a record from falling off from the occasional sleight of hand during transactions, no matter how many discs are left in the sleeve. Including a lip on 3 sides of the shelf was no mistake. No matter how careful the end user might be, having their records fully captured from sliding off the shelf from the front and sides created a strong sense of security. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e33e002531e62193cab913/83b88f2a-5962-450d-a450-e98811e53357/install.jpg Work - Visible Vinyl - Installation Commonly used installation hardware like keyhole brackets or floating shelf brackets are either large in size, an expensive addition to the cost of goods, or combination of both. A slim profile was preferred and could not accommodate these at-the-ready solutions. Well Made is a wood shop at its core and constantly challenges the ease of installation for products on behalf of customers who aren’t quite as handy as the staff. The solution needed to be easily explained and pulled off by consumers who are at home, decorated by themselves. CNC-made keyholes are fast, affordable and necessitate zero additional fabrication work after they are milled. They also allow the product profile to be, quite literally, as slim as possible, allowing the use a 0.75” overall product thickness without trouble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e33e002531e62193cab913/40da741e-aa1d-4781-a1c4-860d29d14182/IMG_1832.jpeg Work - Visible Vinyl - Retail Packaging Well Made always has believed that placing the same amount of design effort into packaging as the products they hold helps to build a reputation for high value products and builds a level of customer trust that will hopefully bring them back. With Walnut, Black, and Oak finishes being the most popular across all Well Made products, the packaging for Visible Vinyl needed to make sense in all scenarios, i.e., on a store shelf clearly showing what the customer is purchasing. A sleeve and tray design made the most sense by mitigating costs on finish-specific purchases while using the same tray across all SKU’s. A large part of making the customer’s installation experience as easy as possible was including an installation template inside the packaging tray, something that could have been a forgotten afterthought resulting in additional printed material inside the box. Instructions and “tape on the wall” mounting holes are thoughtfully laid out on the inside of each package. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61e33e002531e62193cab913/f3568e2a-18a1-4bcb-824f-249e2239762a/VVL-WM-01.jpg Work -
