About Patrick N.

Ideas that scale. Commercially valuable IP. Agency Level capable execution.I turn complex, abstract business ideas into scalable, commercially valuable products through a blend of strategic problem-solving and ad agency-proven creative design, particularly in industries like transportation and digital experiences using innovative technologies. It’s not that I have over 30 years experience, it’s the quality of those experiences that relatively few people had access. A dozen years on top national brands in an advertising design capacity and building millions of dollars in creative assets and being able to build national brand client-side relationships and supporting Executive Creative and Agency Leadership—all the way one one case, to the Oval Office. But the rest of my experience has been building brand experiential, user experience, and user interface product designs. In the case of Worldpay, we redesigned the web experience before the first Vantiv Merger for 35 billion and ultimately Vantiv sold to FIS for 45 billion dollars as the industry consolidated. My most recent Fintech experience included the application for a tech patent for a value proposition I envisioned. I’m passionate about aviation, automotive, motorsports, outdoor, travel and hospitality, technology, entertainment, and energy. You will hear about my grandfather’s biplane flight in 1937 behind the Hindenburg over NYC, designing monster trucks, NASCAR race cars, 18-wheeler themed tour campaigns, and rv recruitment tours, global theme park tour and wayfinder mobile app, tourism campaigns, experiential retail/B2B 3D immersive experiences, payment industry SaaS and mobile platform brand innovations, numerous digital assets. The soft side of my experience is managing, coaching and mentoring numerous teams who have gone on to become creative directors, UX directors, agency owners and more. My management style is a two way street. Listening, coaching, growing, accelerating empowerment. My role is to anticipate risks, and obstructions, and to position the product and people for scalable successes. It’s important to have fun because I hope our shared experience is to work passionately.
