Some would say Nicholas has the power of perspective. Through his camera lens or by virtue of his commitment to creating opportunities for artists, he’s always looking at things in a way that perhaps no one else has, ever before. And that’s how everyone wins.
Nicholas spends his days inspiring and inviting others to be involved in something larger than themselves. He embraces the joy that comes with connecting the dots between who wants to give and who is in need. Because there’s always an open opportunity; you just have to know where to look.
As the Founder and a Contributing Member to XXI Collective, Nicholas knows that creativity affects community. While living in Italy around the time of the Arab Spring refugee crisis, Nicholas discovered his passion for connecting worthy causes to people that can help—all while fostering a sense of artistic community. XXI Collective brings the hands, heart, and feet of the community together as one collective whole. When artists are inspired; causes and projects are fostered; and generous donors are called to give, everyone wins. And the world becomes a more beautiful, purposeful place.
To Nicholas, “collaboration” isn’t just a buzzword. It’s how he lives his life—camera in hand, ready to see something differently. Building a creative, collaborative world is just one connection away.
