Hi, I'm Nigel. Your branding rockstar from the home of Knicks! Most brands don’t fail because of design. They fail because their identity is inconsistent, forgettable, or unclear. I help startups, founders, and businesses build brands that are recognizable, memorable, and designed to create trust across every customer touchpoint. I specialize in brand identity design, logo systems, packaging, marketing collateral, and visual branding that are built around one goal: 👉 Create a brand that people remember and choose. Over the past few years, I've worked with 75+ startups and businesses across different industries, helping them build visual identities and brand systems that support growth, credibility, and long-term recognition. My work has been centered around: Brand identity development and rebranding projects Logo design and complete visual identity systems Packaging design and product branding Marketing collateral and promotional materials Retail, storefront, and environmental branding Digital brand assets and social media systems 🧩 My approach (what makes my work different): Most designers start with visuals. I start with brand strategy. Every branding project is built through a simple framework: 👉 Brand Clarity → Brand Positioning → Visual Identity System This ensures your brand doesn't just look professional; it communicates the right message, attracts the right audience, and remains consistent across every platform. Because in competitive markets, branding is not decoration; it's differentiation. 🚀 Services I offer: Brand Identity Design Logo Design & Logo Systems Brand Guidelines & Style Guides Packaging Design Marketing & Print Collateral Design Storefront & Environmental Branding Social Media Brand Assets Brand Refresh & Rebranding I will help you build great brands from clutter breaking brand identity systems to your brand's customer facing assets ranging from packaging, store fronts, marketing collateral and anything that you need to look and work best.

I'll help you turn AI product ideas, rough MVPs, and vibe-coded prototypes into real production software and make sure it's a great experience. Frankly I'm not the budget option, I'm one of the top devs on the platform. I know this because I do a lot of hiring, working through applications from hundreds of software developers a month, and finding good talent is nigh-impossible. If you just want to have a great experience and have your project handled correctly, I'm your guy. The clients I’m usually the best fit for are: • You built something in Lovable, v0, Replit, Cursor, Bolt, or another AI coding tool, but now it needs to actually work. This means cleaning up and implementing things like auth, payments, database design, file uploads, background jobs, deployment, security, etc. • You want to automate something with AI, or add AI to an existing app in a way that actually improves the product. I'll tell you right away what's actually achievable with the current state of the art for document parsing, multimodal analysis, chat interfaces, agentic workflows, automations, content generation, scoring, recommendations, internal tools, or API-connected workflows and implement it for you. • You need someone senior enough to scope the product from beginning to end, challenge bad assumptions, lead and/or hire other developers, review architecture, communicate clearly between non-technical owners and the technical team, and still personally build the hard parts directly. My usual stack includes Laravel, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, Supabase, Tailwind, Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, Fal, ElevenLabs, n8n, Vercel, AWS, Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and Coolify . Where I’m strongest: AI SaaS MVPs I build AI-enabled products from concept through launch, including user flows, database design, API integrations, background processing, admin tooling, billing, deployment, and iteration after real user feedback. The goal is to get you to market as quickly as possible with something that works reliably. Vibe-code rescue AI coding tools are great for putting together a demo or a mockup. They are not great at building reliable software. They create issues with architecture, security, maintainability, edge cases, and general reliability or basic functionality. I help turn those prototypes into stable apps you can actually launch. AI integrations and automations I build workflows using OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and other providers, including multi-step LLM pipelines, structured outputs, analysis and generation of documents, images, audio and video, vector search, tool calling, and API-connected automations. Technical leadership I work as the technical lead on many projects for my clients: helping define scope, breaking down milestones, setting timelines, hiring and coordinating other developers, reviewing code, making architecture decisions, and keeping the project moving while prioritizing the business goals at all times. Full-stack product development I can handle frontend, backend, database, deployment, and technical product decisions. No matter how technical you are or the state of your project, I'll either be able to help you get this project out the door, or tell you right off the bat if I'm not the right fit in order to not waste your time. How I work: You’ll communicate with me directly. I’m a clear and straightforward communicator, proactive about risks, willing to offer suggestions for improvement along the way, and focused on getting the product to a usable version quickly. I use the latest AI tooling in my development workflows to accelerate and improve product development, but I do not send clients generic AI-written slop in any of our communication. If you have an AI product, SaaS MVP, automation workflow, or half-working prototype that needs to become real software, send me a message and I’ll tell you what I think it will take. A bit more about me: I'm originally from Southern California and now live in Beacon, NY with my wife. When I'm not working, you'll find me taking day trips into NYC to get the best bagels on Earth, exploring Hudson Valley towns and trails, snowboarding in winter when I can, or traveling abroad doing the digital nomad thing, sometimes for years at a time. We tend to gravitate towards Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
