Senior Graphic Designer
NICK FASULO
With over 20 years of graphic design experience ranging from pre-press to designing Out Of Home campaigns and Stadium signage for many professional sports teams, I bring a spectrum of knowledge to my work and design.
As an artist and natural leader, I excel in a team environment while enjoying the creative process and sharing of ideas and concepts, seeing a project through to fruition, keeping the team involved as a whole, and believe in giving credit where credit is due.
Behind the keyboard, I excel at CMYK color correction, true-to-life mock-ups, and design.
VIDEO EDITING AND PRODUCTION
DNSN Productions
For quite some time, the idea of creating and managing my own Video Channel has been a passion project that I've wanted to really put work into. As the owner of DNSN Productions, I've also taken on the role of co-star, video editor, and graphic designer all while managing episode guests, social media aspects, and other logistics that go into putting a review show together.
Please enjoy an episode or two along with a short film I co-produced under the DNSN Productions label.

ALANNAH'S AUTUMN
A DNSN Short Film
In the Fall of 2018, Drunk Nerd Sober Nerd took part in The Sparrow Film Project's "SFP2018: 3 weeks to make a 3-minute film."
This 15th iteration of the Sparrow Film Project focused on Art & Sound, a deceptively difficult task to accomplish in just 3 short minutes as each team of filmmakers who signed up was given a work of art and a required piece of music. Boticelli's 'Primavera' was the inspiration of this film.
