About Me
Nick Boes
Paso RobleS, CALIFORNIA
I am a multidisciplinary design lead and director originally from Northwest Ohio and based in Paso Robles California with over 15 years of experience in the industry. I am a passionate creative that leads by example with a hands-on approach. I believe design is earned. An idea, a concept, or a masterpiece is only as powerful as the message it is able to carry. I work alongside my team no matter the situation or limited time to teach. I seek to inspire and build the best work possible. I am a critical thinker and problem solver that takes a holistic approach to every project, making sure every aspect of it gets produced at the highest quality and delivers meaningful results.
Currently, I'm a Principle Product Designer at SigFig leading design efforts on the innovation team to launch a new product within the FinTech Sector.
Previously, I was a Product Design Director at Superformula leading internal design efforts. I was also a lead on an embedded product design team to reimagine and modernize existing products within our client's digital ecosystem. Additionally, I led efforts on new product ideas and initiatives.
Prior to that, I led a growing team in efforts across a variety of advertiser categories/solutions as well as internal marketing efforts as the Group Creative Director at HYFN in Playa Vista, California. Over the 4 years, I helped grow a creative team of less than ten to a team of almost twenty that has produced work for the likes of UFC Gym, HP, Frito-Lay, Sky Zone, Macy’s, TRX, Vita Coco, and more.
At Ignition Creative, I helped establish and grow an interactive team from a three-person boutique to one of the world's premiere Interactive Agencies. Over my five years there, I was an integral part of award-winning theatrical campaigns such as UP, Toy Story 3, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Prometheus, and X-Men Days of Future Past. Prometheus and X-Men followed the success of Ignition's work on Hunger Games to set a new standard for theatrical transmedia campaigns, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and original content creation outside traditional marketing efforts.
