5 Questions with a C5er: Nick Miede

The team here at Column Five is made up of some very special people. They come from all walks of life. They’re creative, and they work very hard. They’re also very interesting. One staff member a week will be profiled on our blog, from our oldest producer to our newest designer, to introduce the people behind the projects.

C5 asked me 10 questions when I applied. I’ll answer this the exact same way I answered question declarative 1 of 10, “Tell us your life story.”

Place of Residence in Relation to Quality Mexican Food

You worked on Wallstreet before coming to C5. That’s a pretty big

5 Questions with Nick Miede

It’s Taco Tuesday: Where are you eating your dream Mexican food meal?

Here’s a peek into my rotation. Maybe I’ll add to the list when I’m feeling generous:

What’s your favorite Wes Anderson movie?

Used to be Rushmore, but these days:

The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. “Vámonos, amigos,” he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

Hopefully Nico is stuck in your head now, too.

You’ve traveled pretty extensively in previous years, where’s next on 
your wish list?

Time. I mean, don’t get me wrong, traveling across space is great and all. Seeing the world, taking pictures, making memories. And now Elon Musk wants us to travel into outer space—that’s cute and fine. But if I were a billionaire, I’d be investing in flux capacitor technology, not toy spaceships. Then we’re not just making memories. We’re changing memories. Let that sink in.

We asked Nick to feature some of his favorite projects that he’s worked on:
