Nick Woodman 2551 Poplar Street Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3L2Y9 T--nickwoodman.design Profile As a product designer I naturally have an immense passion for truly understanding problems, empathizing with the people who experience those problems, and building solutions for those people following a human centred design process. As a product manager I realize that delightful experiences don't happen by accident, that it takes planning and a design process focused around the end user to truly succeed. As an entrepreneur and innovator I’ve studied graphic design, web development, mobile app prototyping and business development.
