Nice Day Labs wordmark

We research real problems and build the technology around them.

Nice Day Labs is an independent research and development studio in Las Vegas. We design, build, and bring our own products to market.

The work starts with careful questions, specific human problems, and a simple test: would we want this to exist? We fund the work ourselves and stay responsible for what we ship.
SITEMVP

College recruiting, built around the athlete.

SiteMVP is a mobile platform for high school athletes managing their own college recruiting. Each athlete creates one public recruiting page, keeps their film and stats current, and shares it through a permanent link. Coaches always see the latest version without downloading an app or creating an account.

We were both walk-ons. We ran our own recruiting and learned firsthand how difficult it was to keep everything current and get it in front of the right people. SiteMVP is the product we wish we had.

It is now publicly available on iOS. We are in the early stages of bringing it to athletes, learning from real use, and refining how it goes to market.

ONE PROJECT SO FAR. WHEN THERE'S A SECOND, IT'LL BE HERE.
RESEARCH

Start with the problem.

We ask questions before we touch the solution. We study the people living with the problem, the systems surrounding it, and the assumptions everyone has learned to accept. The goal is not to produce more ideas. It is to understand which idea is worth pursuing.

DEVELOPMENT

Build for the long run.

Product and engineering move together from the beginning. We make decisions based on real use, maintainability, and what the system may need to become. Launch calendars and passing trends do not drive the work.


PRODUCT

Stay with what you ship.

Shipping starts a new set of questions. We bring products to market, watch how they behave in the world, and keep improving them as we learn. If we put something out, we intend to remain responsible for it.
WHO WE ARE

Different backgrounds. Shared standards.

We are brothers with complementary technical backgrounds. Mychal approaches problems through product, customers, and commercial context. Gerard approaches them through research, systems, and engineering.

Nice Day Labs is where those perspectives meet. We ask the questions together, challenge each other’s assumptions, and work from opposite ends of the stack toward the same answer.

LAS VEGAS, NV

Say hello.

If you have a product to shape, a problem worth researching, or an idea that needs serious thought, we would like to hear about it.

We spend most of our time building our own products, but we take on select collaborations when the people, the problem, and the opportunity make sense for everyone involved.

If you would like to work with us, tell us what you are thinking.
