equal parts brand strategy, creative direction, innovation, and work ethic.
Our Ethos
We are a storytelling and strategy company aiming to "stand in the in-between," – connecting brands and their customers, people and their experiences, and traditional ways of thinking to innovation and wonder.
_inter is a people-first fully-remote creative company utilizing freelancers, creative entrepreneurs, and subcontracted vendors.
Our Practice
At times, we act as an agency helping to design solutions for our incredible clients. Each project receives a curated team of specialists designed specifically for the project’s needs.
When we’re not helping clients, we celebrate and honor the creative endeavor by collaborating with other artists, designers, and entrepreneurs in our community to learn, innovate, and invent.
Core Beliefs
People first.
Customers, clients, or colleagues...people are the driving force behind everything. Strong bonds foster a sense of connectedness and compassion – two critical factors when providing or receiving goods and services.
Always be a student.
We seek to understand, then be understood. We meet our clients where they are and uncover a path forward together. We are early adopters and explorers… staying curious to learn and fearless in facing the unknown new world head-on.
Ask the right questions early.
Proactive reflection and intentionality keep us poised to adapt and position as necessary. Asking the 'right' questions is as simple as thinking ahead, reflecting on our past experiences, and thoughtfully considering how our skills can be used best.
Failure is a step toward success.
Make no mistake: Failure and the willingness to fail are wildly different. The difference between the two is the outcome. Willingness provides an opportunity to take risks, learn from mistakes, and overcome failure on the path to total success.
Great work takes time.
Great work requires patience and intentionality and allows us to fully understand the tasks at hand, consider the actions to take, and ensure all efforts are directed toward achieving the desired result as efficiently and effectively as possible.
A rising tide lifts all ships.
We’ve commandeered this vessel (terrible pun) and have made it our own. When any creative individual or business is doing well, it creates positive momentum for the rest of us. In the same way, if we are doing well, we owe gratitude to those that came before us.

_Nick Heller
Some days I'm more creative than an entrepreneur...other days, I'm more business than design. Every day, I do my best to focus on the human condition and how people are best served at the intersections of life, work, and beyond.
With more than fifteen years of personal experience across many industries, I bring creative and strategic expertise to every project I have the honor of working on.
PS: Life is short. Enjoy it all. Embrace the challenges with grace.
Join our
Non-Associated Creative Association.
We're looking to meet new friends, learn from others, and push the boundaries of design thinking. Additionally, we often subcontract on our projects to find the best, specialized fit for the project or client.
