About
Expertise

Nick naturally leans toward making order out of chaos. An organized planner, he provides a solid underpinning for others to work together. As a Partner, Nick moves complex projects through each phase of the design process, from concept and budgeting to coordinating the design team and consultants. He’s most inspired by the process; seeing a project through from beginning to end and experiencing that journey alongside the client.

Happiest when he’s playing sports or engaging the boundless curiosity of his two kids, Nick is a Minnesota native who identifies Chicago as home. He loves the way the city offers up what seems like an endless list of restaurants, parks, and neighborhoods to explore.

Expertise in large-scale sites that range from residential estates to big-picture land planning.
Nearly fifteen years of team leadership on large, complex projects.
Deep experience managing schedule and budgets for projects from early design through construction observation.

Nick’s portfolio includes residential, commercial, corporate and civic clients. Since joining Hoerr Schaudt in 2008, Nick has led significant projects at the firm, including the World Food Prize Foundation Garden, a 60-acre residential property in Rhode Island, and a 16-acre landscape restoration at a historic residence by Howard van Doren Shaw.
