Hello, I'm Nico
I write, start communities, and make things. This is where it all lives.
By day I work in the public sector, at the intersection of policy, communications, and civic engagement. The rest of the time I write, design physical products under my brand kinda, build apps through my company SoBo Firm, and host groups for makers and readers.
This site is part hub, part portfolio: a home base for my projects, writing, and the groups I host. Have a look around, or start with the story.
Current focus
What I'm working on now
- Building apps at SoBo Firm: Slait and Snap Dash are coming soon to iPhone.
- Reading Children of Dune by Frank Herbert.
- Focusing on product design.
