What I do

I’m Nick, a Montréal-based design engineer with a background in product and interaction design. I build software, develop film projects, and explore how AI can help people create and express ideas.

I’ve spent more than fourteen years designing complex software alongside product and engineering teams. In 2026, I expanded into hands-on development with AI tools, taking more of my ideas through implementation myself.

My experience spans research tools, analytics, enterprise software and design systems. I’ve worked with product and engineering teams at Sprig, InRule and Pendo, and my current work at Pegbo connects design-system decisions with implementation.

Outside client work

I spend a lot of my own time making things: developing film projects, exploring visual worlds, building small games and experimenting with 3D and physical objects. Sometimes I’m following a story; sometimes I just want to see whether an idea could work.

Film and storytelling have interested me since I was young. I enjoy moving between different media and learning what each one makes possible.

What drives me

I like the moment when something I’ve imagined becomes something I can see, use or share. That keeps pulling me into new tools and unfamiliar territory.

AI has expanded what I can attempt myself. I can explore an interaction, build a tool or develop a scene, then keep working on it until it gets closer to what I meant. I want to become better at the craft and make things that feel worth putting into the world.

What I’m looking for

I’m looking for work that brings design, building and creative exploration together. I’m especially interested in AI tools, interactive experiences and new ways for people to express ideas.

I’d like to work closely with curious designers, engineers and researchers: people I can learn from, test ideas with and build something ambitious alongside. I want to stay hands-on, help shape the direction and follow ideas through into working experiences.
