Nick Deyring
Executive strategic thinker, designer,
and drinker of iced coffee
Since I was small, I've always been fascinated with branding, product positioning, business creativity, and what the definition of "beautiful" is.
Growing up in a family of engineering entrepreneurs in California inspired me to bring a unique perspective to approaching business problems. I've won national design awards, including a 2016 LG Innovation Award for US Platform, the first in its fifty-year history ever given to a marketing group within LG, rather than an engineering team.
// Definition
Beautiful form, with metrics in mind. To form (verb) is to make or fashion into a specific shape or form, relating to our sensory reaction to an object. A metric (noun) is a standard for measuring or evaluating something, implying precise intent.
Formetric bonds the technical to the inspired, form with function, and art with purpose.

Expertise, results, and partnership
Expertise enjoys challenge
Enjoy solving wicked problems, make beautiful things and develop a practice of expertise. This means keeping the craft knives sharp and looking for challenging projects.
Believe in real results
To be a part of an expert team of peers, proven to be top-tier thinkers and doers who enjoy solving problems for clients, you need to also care about outcomes. Care about the KPIs because they are the customer reality.
Stakeholders are partners
Nothing important happens in isolation. Working directly with a talented expert team delivers value, excellence in output, and a higher level of engagement. Treat all engagements as a respectful partnership, intended to deliver truth with value.
