About Me

Hi - I’m Nick.

I’m traditionally trained as a Graphic Designer, but in 2022 I decided to shift my focus towards motion and 3D design because I felt that it offered stronger and more differentiating ways to meet a client's creative needs.

I’ve been committed to discovering and embracing new tools, working across industry-leading platforms including Cinema 4D, Blender, Maya, the Adobe Creative Suite, and, more recently, exploring the immense potential of AI. But I continuously remind myself that these are all just tools, and that communications problem-solving and design thinking are my real strengths.

Looking forward to helping you with your design and communications needs!

Nick
