Behind the scenes

who we are

Creatives who make digital tools for music producers and sound designers.

Creative Intent was founded in 2017 after years of exploration into sound design led to the creation of Temper, our first plugin. Our curiosity drives the development of our tools. We hope you use them to explore sound with us.

Nick Thompson

Product Development & DSP

A software developer by day, and a sound design and DSP enthusiast by night, Nick Thompson is a lifelong nerd who writes plug-ins for “fun” and to “de-stress.” His music explores ambient soundscapes with glitchy drums, from which the writing processes and techniques inspire new products.

Michael Spillane

Product Design & Marketing

A designer by trade and active musician, Michael has experience working with a myriad of brands both large and small, designing visual brand identities, user interfaces, and web technologies. At Creative Intent he contributes his creativity in everything from product design to marketing and beyond.
