Raised in a small town in eastern Montana, Nick grew up working alongside his father in the trades. Construction was hard work, but also rewarding. It was through this experience that Nick began to understand how a vision can translate into drawings, and drawings transform into reality. A seed had been planted. As President of Collaborative Design Nick is the architect of the business, designing the firm’s processes, systems, client experience, and staff culture. In this role he applies the same principle of timeless stability with an approach marked by wonder, contemplation, and innovation.
