Bio/Description

Nick Halsey is an Engineer, Composer, and Designer in Portland, Oregon. He recently completed his M.S. in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering) and B.S. in Civil Engineering (Building Science) with a minor in Musical Studies (Composition) at the University of Southern California. Architecture, engineering, and the built environment are his primary passions, along with a creative drive to constantly make things. In addition to music composition, this often manifests itself in digital works ranging from software (via WordPress) to sheet music, photography, and digital art. Nick’s digital projects can be found at Cello Expressions.

In addition to the free plugins and themes available here on WordPress.org, Nick has designed several unique commercial WordPress themes at Halsey Themes..
