About me

Hey, I’m Nick Lankau
I design things, make music, and build systems that connect people with what matters.

I studied Environmental Product Design at CU Boulder, where I focused on creating everyday tools and experiences that are sustainable, useful, and thoughtful. Since then, I’ve worked across physical product design, sound composition, and visual media — all grounded in the same goal: making good work that supports a healthier, more connected world.

Right now, I’m building a creative practice that spans sustainable product design, music production, and consulting. I also take on freelance projects and collaborations across disciplines.

This site is equal parts shop, portfolio, and personal archive. Feel free to poke around and hit the contact page if you want to work together.
