Degree in Graphic Design, Architecture, & Photography – Temple University’s Tyler School of Art & Architecture.

Signed Model & UGC Content Creator

Since 2020, I’ve been a signed male model, currently represented by Deco Models in Miami.In 2024, I launched Nicholas Creates LLC — a digital marketing and social media business dedicated to helping brands grow and thrive online.i'm a 3 year veteran of ugc - i know what sells.

It's In My DNA

I come from a long line of Italian immigrant entrepreneurs who built their own legacies—from coal mining and diners to hotels, golf courses, and lumber mills. Hard work, resilience, and ambition are in my DNA, and I bring that same drive and creativity into everything I do. Growing up in the restaurant industry, I was pouring beers behind the bar at age 12 —the hustle lifestyle has always been second nature to me.

Manifestation, Adventure & Connection

I believe in the power of manifestation, purpose-driven action, & human connection.I embrace new experiences with confidence, curiosity, & a vision for what’s next. everything happens for a reason.

Graduated with a degree in architecture, graphic design, & photography during COVID. Tried the 9-5, hated it. My creativity needed more, so I pivoted—picked up modeling & content creation, got signed, & never looked back. #designdegree #arch

Backpacking Central + South America

I booked a one-way ticket to Mexico at the start of 2025 with only $900 to my name & two backpacks — & I’ve been living my dream ever since. I’m a full-time UGC content creator, social media manager, & UGC mentor - creating content for brands, Airbnbs, & boutique hotels while hopping from hostel to hostel, surrounded by tropical jungles, beaches, & the wildest, most inspiring people. Every day is an adventure, & somehow… this is my job.

Didn’t tell a single soul I was going skydiving—just woke up, drove 6 hours to New York, & jumped out of a plane like it was casual. Life’s too short to overthink, so here’s me, free-falling into my next adventure. What’s next? Who knows, but I’m ready. #spontaneous #skydiveordie

Soon, I won’t just be visiting, I’ll be an EU citizen. Studied abroad in Italy, fell in love with my roots, & now I’m making it official with dual citizenship through descent. This journey has been more than paperwork—it’s been about rediscovering my family history. #dualcitizenship #italianpossport

At this point, it’s basically a tradition—go on a hike, find a stunning spot, & just… get naked. Something about being fully in nature, no distractions, no constraints, just me & the mountains. OH - I also don't wear shoes when I hike: 7 miles in the alpine zone of Montana is my record. #barefoothiking #getnaked

Standing in front of Vogue now, but soon, I’ll be on the cover. I’ve been representing brands since 2020, signed as a model, & built a career around creating content—because I know what looks good, both in front of & behind the camera. #runwaymodel #signedmodel

Never thought I’d be the person who wakes up early to do yoga in the mountains, but here we are. Meditation, energy work, and manifestation have become a huge part of my life, & honestly, I’ve never felt more in tune with myself. Something about this just clicks. #staypresent #spirituality #111

Started with a cross-country road trip from PA to CA… ended up stranded in an abandoned ghost town in Death Valley, California with a broken-down car. One tow truck, a lot of chaos, & somehow we spent a week in Vegas crashing with two bodybuilders... #travelblog #crosscountrytrip

My first cross-country trip didn’t go as planned, so I was determined to finish it on my own. Spent four months living out of my car & now standing in a canyon in Utah, I’ve hit 44/50 states & nearly a quarter of all national parks. Best decision I ever made. #utahparks #solotravel
