A Brief History/Timeline of the creator of NDLR
NEW DESIGN LIVE REDESIGN (NDLR): Professional Biography and Plan
I. Prologue and Brand Identity
Nick De La Roca is a Los Angeles-based artist, jewelry designer, tattooist, and graphic designer whose practice uniquely blends handcrafted jewelry, body modification culture, and multimedia design. Across two decades of work, he has built a distinctive catalog of pieces, collaborations, and shows, all reflecting an unwavering commitment to craft, safety, and provocative visual storytelling. His brand, NDLR (New Design Live Redesign), functions as a focused studio for client commissions, branding, and collaborative projects. NDLR emphasizes safety, customization, and artist-driven narratives within a seamless design-and-craft ecosystem.
II. Career Timeline Highlights
The following list outlines the progression of the NDLR practice, from foundational skill-building to the current era of cross-disciplinary collaboration:
- Foundations & First Forays: Early immersion in the Los Angeles arts scene, leading to initial forays into jewelry design and body adornment. Core focus: Building hands-on skill sets in making, design, and client service.
- Apprenticeship & Production: Apprenticeship with prominent body jewelry designers to master fabrication techniques and material safety, and collaborations with established studios. Core focus: Establishing a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship and reliable production workflows.
- Studio Leadership & Strides: Taking on founding roles in tattoo and jewelry ventures, expanding into brand development and shop leadership, and creating a multi-disciplinary design-and-craft ecosystem. Core focus: Launching a portfolio emphasizing safety, customization, and artist-driven storytelling.
- The NDLR Era (New Design Live Re-Design): Formation of the NDLR brand, focusing on client commissions, branding, and cross-disciplinary projects. Core focus: Sustaining a creative practice deeply rooted in craft integrity and contemporary aesthetics.
III. Philosophy, Portfolio, and Collaborations
Portfolio Snapshots: The Three Disciplines
The NDLR portfolio spans three primary design facets:
- Handmade Jewelry: Custom pieces emphasizing safe materials, bold silhouettes, and wearable art statements.
- Tattoo and Body-Mod Collaborations: Cross-disciplinary works that blend line work, sculpture, and surface design.
- Graphic Design and Digital Art: Client-facing branding, posters, and marketing collateral that echo the jewelry and tattoo aesthetics.
Core Philosophy
The core philosophy is a craft-first approach prioritizing material safety, craftsmanship, and durability. This is coupled with a strong commitment to community engagement through mentoring and technique sharing, ensuring the practice honors tradition while pushing contemporary aesthetics.
Notable Collaborations and Public Presence
Key partnerships have included Jesse Jarrell / Fractal Creations Body Jewelry and joint design development with The Good Art Company. Nick has exhibited work and participated in installation design for venues like the Heart of Art Gallery (Culver City) and is deeply embedded in the local LA tattoo scene (Thunder Volt, Zebra HLLYWD, etc.).
IV. Image and Production Plan
Visual Strategy
Visuals will include Portraits (hands-on crafting moments), Process Shots (from sketch to finished piece), Finished Works (high-resolution signature jewelry pieces), Exhibitions (install shots), Collaborations (imagery from partner studios), and Timeline Visuals (graphic milestones). High-resolution images should be prepared from your archives.
Sourcing and Integration
All images must include captions with title, year, location, and photographer credit where applicable. The next steps will involve assembling a polished manuscript with image placeholders to produce a final layout-ready or web-ready version.
