Nick Finck has made sure that DW has kept this position by being a great writer who can explain complicated things simply, an excellent editor-in-chief and an inspiration for countless other designers." —Peter-Paul Koch, Freelancer
"Nick has to be one of the most connected and influential people I know. From organizing events like WebVisions to being being the publisher of Digital Web Magazine, he puts a lot of his time into creating resources that bring people together and help them become better at their work — and he does it without asking for anything in return." —Lee LeFever, Common Craft
"Nick is a very skilled information architect whose ability to quickly grasp the desired “end-state” and translate that into site maps, workflows and page descriptions was very impressive. I found him to be intelligent, concise, collaborative and accommodating… allowing us to create a vision together instead of working in silos." —Chris Westall, Art.com
