my name is nick, i am 20 years old and was born in ridgewood, new jersey. my first language is french. at the age of 2 we moved to dallas, texas. i lived there for roughly 2 years and went to a montessori school and wore chaps most days. we then moved to a small town outside of paris called ormeaux, which consisted of 3 streets, a church, a school, a stream, some farms, and roughly 300 people. my best friends name was julien. 2 years after living in france we moved to north america again, this time to quebec city. for the first year, before learning how to fake a convincing 'quebecois' accent, my french accent caused me to be ridiculed by schoolmates and teachers alike. i lived in quebec city for 10 years and attended/graduated from holland elementary school and quebec high school. i was a point guard and played basketball avidly through elementary and high school. after graduating from quebec high i went to school in ottawa at a technical college and completed an intensive 15 month course in computer graphics/multimedia web design. upon completion i moved to toronto to help start a design agency called lounge agency. i worked there for a year and a half, before quitting and starting a company with my partner greg. a few months later greg and i moved to montreal. a month later i moved to san francisco to work with organic, a large interactive agency. i have been here for 8 months, and i do dry, uninspiring work, and am soon moving onto something better suited for me.
i enjoy design, t-shirts, sneakers & marijuana.
