With a diverse background and an unconventional path, Nick brings a rich blend of experiences to his current role. Born in the upper Midwest, raised in western New York, and having spent time in the South, his early life was shaped by movement and adaptability. After earning a degree in Business Administration and working in various positions, Nick completed a transformative year of service with AmeriCorps NCCC, contributing to conservation and humanitarian projects—including critical work on the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina.
This experience led to roles on conservation trail crews in Alaska and Vermont, and eventually to a master’s degree in Recreation Management. His professional journey in conservation work continued across the West, with roles with the United States Forest Service in Colorado and the National Park Service in South Dakota.
In 2022, the opportunity to purchase a small awards and promotions business in Lake Placid, NY marked the beginning of Nick’s entrepreneurial chapter. Today, he draws on his background in leadership, warehouse operations, detailed craftsmanship, financial management, and order fulfillment. He thrives in a role where every day is different and takes great satisfaction in seeing a project from start to finish—especially when the client enjoys the final result as much as he does.

Amelia is thrilled to be part of the team, working alongside Nick and Tyler. She’s deeply grateful to contribute to a business that celebrates individuals and organizations, making people in the community feel seen and valued every day.
Originally from North Carolina, Amelia spent most of her life exploring its landscapes and those of many other states with family and friends. A proud Tar Heel, she thrived at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she studied Biology and Graphic Design, competed on the Division I Women’s Rowing team, and met her husband, Davis. Her design work was featured in the Journalism School’s Media Hub, and she explored interdisciplinary innovation through projects like developing a functional 3D-printed microscope.
When the opportunity arose to relocate to the beautiful Adirondack Mountains, Amelia discovered an opening at Cedarhue Branding—and her journey into this creative and dynamic field began. Her role is ever-evolving, blending design, craftsmanship, and meaningful recognition. For Amelia, the joy lies in the process of bringing a project to life and knowing it will serve as a lasting reminder of someone’s impact and achievement.
