Biography

Nils Vesk is a professional designer but you won’t find him designing your workplace layout or your company website. For 18 years Nils has been applying the process of design thinking to generating and realising ideas. His clients include the world’s fastest growing companies who use Nils as an idea architect and change catalyst for accelerating business growth through innovation. Nils’ clients include IBM, CBA, Optus, Bluescope Steel, Microsoft Origin Energy and more.

Ideas are born naked. It’s no wonder so many are shy and never make it into the public eye. As an Innovation Architect Nils takes a stand for ideas. To see them make it, be recognised and evolve into true innovation.
Nils Vesk takes ideas out of their hiding places - be it in bottom drawers or the dark reaches of your employees’ minds; identifying the ideas with the most potential - giving them the right foundations, investment, development and support to succeed. With your help, Nils will take all these naked ideas, dress them up and walk them all the way to your bottom line.
