Hopefully I’m the Nick Simard you’re looking for!

If not, feel free to stay. I’m kind of awesome. Don’t believe me? Well, I like to write, design (graphics and websites), take photos, make videos and even beatbox (there may or may not be proof of that on this website).

With a Creative Flair

I love to write, and have been paid to do so, as a blogger and as university newspaper editor. I’ve also blogged on my own quite a bit. Then there’s the side of me that loves to design things like websites, posters, brochures, business cards, etc.

It’s difficult to say which I love more. My life has brought me down both paths, with the design element being the focus right now. But man, do I enjoy sitting down and expressing myself via the written word. This site will become a culmination of both those passions, with some good ol’ geekery thrown into the mix. You know, some photos, videos, social media and whatever else I decide to share. So have a look around, and if you’re curious about MightyVolt Media then by all means come on over!
