Nico Killips

Web Slinger

I've got the skills to ride the waves, webs and wires. Just don't ask me to ride a bike. Seriously.

So, we'll put it right out there: the kid never learned to ride a bike. But what he lacks in bike-riding ability he makes up for in design. This Lansing native and technology enthusiast is a pro when it comes to whipping up web pages and putting together a print piece.

When he's not sucking down a five-hour energy drink, Nico can be spotted on the third floor of 614 Seymour slinging his web powers and dreaming of Sawyer's Pancake House. With nearly 10 years of experience in the fields of web and print design, this former freelancer is ready to put his skills to work for you.

If money were no object, Nico says he would build a recording studio and bring all of the songs in his head to life. He'd also buy a roller derby league and organize it so all of his friends could participate. The bottom line: you just never know what you're going to get from this guy. Except typographic, minimalist, beautiful design - that comes standard.

Though he'd never be caught dead using any typefaces such as (or similar to) Comic Sans, Trajan Pro, Bank Gothic, Mistral or Papyrus in any of his design work...rest assured, your design wish is his command. So hit up our web slinger for a chat, we bet your website could use some sprucing up.
