Hi, I'm Nolan!

Designer + developer + creative problem solver with special interest in the intersection of technology and design. I find joy in hands-on play, experimentation, and solution-driven missions that help me understand and contribute to the world around me. I have had the pleasure of leading and collaborating in a variety of inspiring spaces through the lens of design and development, and I am excited to continue exploring!

Currently, I am working on my Master of Science in software development while also engaging with tons of impactful initiatives at CDS & BU Spark!. I am always looking to chat and collaborate, check out my portfolio or contact me!

My Toolkit

I love to learn and to understand all sides of a problem, and that curiosity has led me on quite an amazing path. I often think about my journey in four categories: Tech, Design, Strategy, and Leadership. My greatest strengths lie at the intersections of these areas, where I can build products, workflows, and innovative solutions that balance both the technical and the human.

When I first drew this Venn diagram, I spent far too long trying to perfectly place my skills, only to realize that the best part of interdisciplinary knowledge is its ability to shift with context, pulling from different places to arrive at the right middle ground. Drag and drop to explore.
