I'm Nick Disabato, but you can call me nickd.

Support Distance on Kickstarter.

I'm a product designer and publisher from Chicago, which is the best city in the world. I like good beer, classic techno, thinking about how people read, mentoring, long walks on the beach, Twitter, and .

Projects:

  1. Distance (Twitter).
    A place for us to write and read better. Support us on Kickstarter.
  2. Cadence & Slang (Twitter).
    A small book about interaction design.
  3. You are Destroying the English Language.
    Woefully arranged words.
  4. Shitty Portmanteaux.
    Precisely what it sounds like.
  5. Butt Firkin.
    A beer blog with my awesome girlfriend.
