My background

My name’s Nick! I graduated from Mississippi College with my bachelor’s in Biblical Studies, with minors in Graphic Design and English Writing. During college, I worked as a missions intern at my home church, a tutor in the Department of Christian Studies, and even the school mascot, among other odd jobs here and there. After graduating in May of 24 and getting married just a few weeks later in June to my wonderful wife Sydney, we moved to Birmingham to continue our education (PharmD for her, MDiv for me). In August of that same year, I started full time as a student minister in Birmingham and am blessed to still be in that position today. Sydney and I live in the Vestavia Hills area of Birmingham specifically with our two cats, Mjolnir and Espresso. In a relatively short amount of time, I’ve gotten to work with a lot of people, churches, and ministries around the world,, and I hope that you’ll be included on that list soon.

How I got into design

Since middle school (or even earlier, honestly), I’ve loved making stuff. When I got my first gaming console, I gave myself a challenge to build my own gaming headset so that I could talk to my friends. I could have just bought one, but the idea of making something with my own hands to communicate with someone else miles away felt interesting to me.

So, with a spare set of headphones from a carseat mounted DVD player, a microphone I found at my grandparents’ house, and a pair of socks, I went to work. I taped and wired it all together, plugged it into my controller, and sure enough, it worked… MOST of the time, which was still a win.

Ever since then, the idea of building to communicate has stuck with me, especially as I’ve continued to work in ministry in the US and internationally, and everywhere I’ve been, communication has been a shared trait at every turn. That’s the beauty of the Gospel - that it can be shared anywhere with anyone in a way that’s Scripturally rooted but personally connected.

It’s that mindset I bring to every project I work on. Whatever it is, it is a vessel to share the Gospel.
