Nick Mason

I like to take things apart and put them back together again. Seriously. For nearly 20 years, I have been a product designer and team leader who thrives on unraveling complex workflows - from Healthcare and Banking to Online Advertising, Marketing Tech, and Consumer Products - and rebuilding them into user-centered, business-friendly tools.

I excel at front-end development and steering product strategy, blending creative design with technical chops and a clear vision for market success.

When I’m not streamlining systems or identifying new market opportunities, you might find me traveling, playing soccer, detailing my car, conquering open-world video games, tinkering with home automation, building watches from scratch, or lost in a good book.

What I’ve done so far…

… & what I’m doing now

I’m on the hunt for my next opportunity, where my blend of product strategy, front-end development, and creative leadership can shine. Currently vibe coding, exploring new interaction paradigms with AI and development, and getting excited about merging innovation with purpose.
