He's intelligent, insightful, hard-working, creative, and simply a delight to work with. We spent 1 year+ building Artistprof together and his contributions to the team were critical in helping us ship a beautiful product so quickly. We asked him not only to lead design on the project but also fill in all the gaps - from conducting UXR, writing marketing copy, and managing cross-functional relationships with engineering and sales. After launching, we received great feedback from our beta users around the design and ease of use of the product - a testament to Nicola's attention to detail and the hard work he invested.” Amy Fogelman PM, Third Act. “I had the pleasure of working with Nicola on a new design for our platform. I was constantly impressed not only by his skills but also by his motivation and great attitude. Nicola always came to the table with great ideas and improvements to move the design forward. Any team would be lucky to have Nicola.” Nora N. Khan Thesis Editor. Writer, Critic, Curator.  "And this writing is and should be constantly shifting. It’s not always about forming an official position and defending one’s practice. Take Nicola DiFusco’s writing, which embraces ambulatory practice and meme-like doubt and dark humor to unseat their critical arguments even as they put them down to the page." "Flexibility, Unlearning, Movement, and Thinking with the Writer-Artist: A Conversation with Nora N. Khan" Shelby Shaw, v.1 Magazine, Spring 2021 Edition.
