Hey everyone it’s Rashad and this is Wear Many Hats presented by Dahsar where we talk about your main gig then we talk about your side hustle.

WMH and Dahsar is made possible by listeners like you. Thank you.

Wear Many Hats, Dahsar and Commercial Type will be hosting a zine fair in collaboration with Hester Street Fair come August. You heard it here first! DM or email us over at Wear Many Hats or Dahsar if you’d like to participate as an exhibitor.

Nick Massarelli is a graphic designer.

Had to stop just saying designer because people either be thinking it’s fashion design or the rapper with two i’s.

But it’s Massarelli with two S’s and two L’s.

I first met Nick outside of the zine function at the pier in Philly chopping it up. Dahsar was doing our first collaboration with Commercial Type and the rest was history.

Nick went to Drexel for his BS in Graphic Design and Yale for his MFA. We got a big dawg on the pod. Currently over at fan favorite, Actual Source, as a Senior Designer.

But where we really know Nick is from First Last a periodic artist publication co-ran with Sean Murray.

Pulling up to the zine fair in a Maserati.

Please welcome Nick Massarelli to Wear Many Hats.

I heard your family has a restarant in little italy or your brother has a pizza shop is that confirmed true?

Hats off

Hats off to you and everything that you do, for some Dahsar Wear Many Hats solutions, would you feature Wear Many Hats in the next First Last issue? We would love to be on. Probably throw in an artistic nude or two.
