Nicolas C. Solerieu

Designer based in San Luis Obispo, CA. I make things for screens and occasionally wonder why. French by birth, Californian by accident. Cyclist, odd, texture guy, reluctant technologist. I’m interested in the craft of making software coherent, useful, and distinct, with as little ceremony as possible. Trying to care deeply without taking any of it too seriously.

Selected work · 2014–2026

Expo · Designer

I was the first design hire at Expo. I shape the brand, website and product UI. I'm doing pretty much anuything visual, helping wherever I am needed and the intersection of marketing, product, and growth.

Freelance · Digital designer

Since a student I have been working on a variety of client work over the last decade. Mainly early brand and website design to get the project going. Sometimes for friend but most often for stranger who reach out over the internet.

Github · Site (web) designer II

I joined the Site design team at Github and collaborated closely with the brand and design system team to build flagship and CMS powered pages on github.com. I had fun playing with this legenday brand and team but ultimately it was not my vibe.

Opendoor · Brand & web designer

I was hired to redesign the marketing website. In 6 years I had the opportunity to scale the website from a few page to 200+ pages, and produce most of the digital marketing. It was a fun, bumpy first tech rodoe.
