enabling creatives to dislodge barriers and forge new connections…

 /who

I'm Nicholas, a transdisciplinary producer and consultant. I help courageous creative communities craft a resilient practice to meet the demands of new media, new economies, and new audiences.

I'm passionate about the place where divergent disciplines meet, and I've built my career around calling others to the spot. From there, it's possible to combine, transform, and adapt our processes endlessly, outwitting the pitfalls of old paradigms.

If you're similarly driven by the search for new modes of creative practice, check out some of the ways I've helped others navigate to their own, unique intersections...

/why

 

to get unstuck.

Let's foster a culture of action-bias based on resilient creative strategies that adapt to future disruption.

to break the mold.

Let’s design our way to unique models that allow you and your organization to evolve authentically.

to grow equity.

Let’s build processes and outcomes that center dignity and strive for the benefit of everyone involved.

/how

  • combine.

    Facilitating space for transdisciplinary practice that builds resilient creative communities. Laying the ground for forces to combine at WaveForms...

  • adapt.

    Fostering fluid thinking to find distinct approaches within a changing creative landscape. Convening creative practitioners at Ars Electronica to adapt together…

  • transform.

    Designing little nudges that evolve into big ideas. Structuring creative processes that transform collective intelligence into bold artworks…

/what

 
 

When you want to clarify a creative direction and convert potential into practice, sheer force of will only takes you so far. Fluid thinking, critical communication, and emergent strategy are necessary to travel the whole winding distance toward producing something novel.

This is my orientation to work and the capabilities I bring to every project I support.

 
 

community of practice

It takes all sorts. Working at strange intersections, I’ve had the good fortune to make friends across the disciplinary spectrum. Say hello to some of the communities where I’ve lent my expertise, showcased a project, built something new, or sparked a dialogue.

starter questions for getting started

  • organizations ask...

    “How can our constraints become catalysts?”

  • artists ask...

    “What can be built from the resources at hand?”

  • producers ask...

    “Which container best meets the moment?”

/when

Right now! Let’s have a virtual meetup and dig in on one of these starter questions (or maybe one of your own). The answer is always, “I’m so glad you asked…”
