Hi, I'm Nick DiPaola. I specialize in graphic design and brand identity systems. Currently I am working as a freelance designer and Continuing Education Instructor at RISD.

My design process comes from a love of play and design thinking strategies. While I was getting an MFA in design at MassArt I wrote a thesis about the immersive space in which play exists and the outside world melts away. Good design harnesses this space to immerse its audience, whether that be for 10 seconds or 10 hours. This approach has helped me and my collaborators create meaningful and authentic experiences across both print and digital design.

When I am not designing, you can find me tinkering with handheld gaming consoles, perfecting my coffee recipes, and reading sci-fi novels.
