Nick Disabato
Chicago, IL
I'm a designer from Chicago. In late 2010, I wrote, designed, and published Cadence & Slang (http://cadence.cc), which was funded through the great generosity of folks on Kickstarter. Now I help others make Distance, a quarterly journal for long essays about design and technology.
