From the start, Nicky discovered a passion for all things creative. Whether it be music, art, or design, he found energy in being able to affect those around him in a positive way. His studies at Rocky Mountain College for Art + Design only aided in strengthening those feelings, and gave him the tools to continue doing what he loves in a professional setting. Through this grew a passion for lighting, and its application within the design world. There is a crucial bond between light and design, and something that is reflected in multiple aspects of his everyday life whether it be on stage or in an office. With this understanding, Nicky aims to apply his interior design knowledge into the world of lighting design, rendering, and stage lighting at a professional level to create projects and fixtures for clients.
