About

Nicholas Schmidt Studio is a creative consultancy and design studio centered in art, architecture, and design. The studio is dedicated to rigorous, broad-spectrum research and unambiguous representations of complex thought. Our practice conceives functional design strategies for projects of all scales by conceptualizing nuanced forms, spaces, and narratives that adhere to a project’s intent. Our comprehensive approach delivers unequivocal solutions tailored to every specific project. Guided by the principles of simplicity, elegance, and non-reference, the studio establishes timeless and universally significant strategies.
