Hello my name is
Nick Frühling
I'm a product designer by day and a sticker designer by night. While working in the industry for 20 years I've cofounded three hilarious children and cried at every Pixar movie.
Since studying design and illustration at Capilano University, my career has been a lovingly constructed combination of user experience, marketing communications, and design leadership, with plenty of room for fun. This passion for play is evident in everything I do, and my lifelong love of solving technical problems with creative solutions is what brought me to my role as the Director of Product Design at tech unicorn Staffbase. With a crackerjack team of product designers and researchers, my daily duties ranged from design operations to people management, where I applied all my experience to creative leadership, product strategy, and desk toys.
In addition to my work with Staffbase, I’m also a technical consultant for Doubleknot Works, and an aspiring app developer at Rag Tag Co.
