Hey, I’m Nick Merrill, a multi-disciplinary designer from just southwest of Boston, Massachusetts. After 18 years working for 4 different digital agencies, I decided to launch my own independent career. This opened the door for me to provide agency expertise at freelance pricing.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with a diverse collection of clients like HBO and the Boston Bruins, to Startups and Local Community Foundations. I enjoy the process of blending design and technology to create digital solutions that, ultimately, drive business value and generate intuitive user experiences.
Outside of work, I’m a lucky dad and husband with hobbies that include woodworking, boating, golfing, craft brewing, Scrabble playing, and being a big fan of Boston sports teams.
"Craft makes it super easy to keep our website fresh and relevant. Updating the site is simple and quick so we can keep our donors and other visitors informed and engaged in our work."
