i’m nicko.

Creative Rebel. Chaos Conductor. Your Brand’s New Secret Weapon.

I’m a multi-hyphenate creative with a brain that works like a Pinterest board somebody shook like a snow globe — and honestly, that’s my superpower.

I design brands, shoot photos, build systems, play music, and bring visions to life for people who refuse to play small.
Nicko Creative is the ecosystem where all that chaos gets turned into clarity, confidence, and stand-out creative work.

I’m here to make sh*t beautiful, memorable, and impossible to ignore.

I’m also the unofficial love child of Tony Stark, Darth Vader, and Deadpool. (Make of that what you will.)

This whole adventure started because I could never not create.
Logos, playlists, room layouts, branding systems, photo shoots — if it involved vision and vibes, I was in.

After 20+ years of designing for other people, I finally went all-in on building my own empire. Now I help businesses, creatives, and fellow neurospicy souls show up boldly and authentically — without sanding down their edges or hiding who they are.

Nicko Creative was not built from perfection.
It was built from chaos, grit, coffee, and a refusal to blend in.

THE BRAND ORIGIN STORY:

You don’t hire me for beige.
You hire me because I see things you can’t yet see — and I make them real.

Here’s the cheat code:

  • I’m neurodivergent (AuDHD with a side of OCD), so innovation is basically my default setting.

  • I create fast, think weird, and build visuals that hit emotionally and strategically.

  • I give my clients brands that finally look like them — not like a template wearing sunglasses.

  • I don’t do boring. I don’t do generic. I don’t do Comic Sans. Ever.

I’m the creative you call when you want your brand to grow a backbone and a personality.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT:

ABOUT THE CHAOS (THE ECOSYSTEM)

Nicko Creative runs on four powerful creative lanes, each fueled by the same bolt of energy:

DESIGN: Unleash the Chaos

Branding, strategy, identity systems, graphics, and digital products.

PHOTO: Your Chaos, Captured

Portraits, art and branding photography that make people stop scrolling and start paying attention.

SPACES: Chaos Tamed

Organization and functional design for homes and offices that need to work for real humans — not Pinterest fantasies.

MUSIC: Built from Chaos & Soul

House shows, live performances, and the kind of storytelling you feel in your chest.

Four lanes. One energy: Powered by Chaos.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

Lightning bolts are my love language.
Black is my personality.
Coffee is my emotional support beverage.
I’m married to my favorite human, Kiona.
We have three dogs who run the house.
I’m a drummer, a designer, a storyteller, and a proud queer creative in my Villain Era.

I believe:

  • Star Wars > Star Trek

  • Avocados are overrated

  • Brands should be bold

  • Creativity is a rebellion

  • And authenticity isn’t optional

This isn’t a business to me.
It’s a legacy. A movement. A rebellion for all of us who never fit in neatly — and finally decided we don’t want to.

PRESS & RECOGNITION

Because sometimes chaos gets noticed.
