We spotted Nicholas quietly sitting down after office hours, and noted that his outfit, while simple, had some nice touches—a work bag that stood out from the masses of black briefcases, for example, and the striped orange socks that contrasted with his forest green polo tee. Getting past his quiet demeanour, we found out that Nicholas is quite a brand maven, hunting down new brands online, and even joining in the crowdfunding behind the American brand from which his jeans are from. “I like that the process of crowdfunding cuts out the middleman,” he says. Yet another way to cut out the middleman would be to do it yourself, and Nicholas also dabbles in leatherwork in his free time; in fact, he made the strap of the watch he is currently wearing. “I took a class once some time back, then learnt the rest online. I make mostly small stuff, like watch straps, wallets, card holders, and device sleeves.” As a man in the IT industry, he supposes that it is in his nature. “I like taking things apart, improving them and putting it back together again.”
