About

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 brings me to my role as Design Director at Pixieset. With a picture perfect team of product designers, my daily duties range from design operations to people management, where I apply all my experience to creative leadership, product strategy, and desk toys.

In addition to my work with Pixieset, I’m also a technical consultant for Doubleknot Works, and an aspiring app developer at Rag Tag Co.
