Nick is the artist and co-creator of Howtoons, the educational comic book and website for kids, inspiring them to build things from everyday household goods. In 2006 Howtoons was included in the Cooper-Hewitt’s National Design Triennial, recognized for it’s inventive way of integrating instructions into storytelling. Nick is also a freelance comic book artist, having done work for Marvel Comics, Vertigo, and the Cartoon Network.
Ingrid is the lead designer of the Howtoons projects. Having gotten her start at New Balance as a kids shoe designer and then joining Hasbro creating toys, she plays an integral role in connecting to users, be it thru comics, outreach, or the next avenue of expression.
