Bio
Laura Mizon
Nick was an absolute pleasure to have in the team at Mr & Mrs Smith, a hard worker with a professional attitude and great eye for design both on and offline, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.
Laura House
Nick was based in our London HQ and I was in New York, but despite the fact that we didn't share office space or the same time zone, nothing was ever lost in translation with Nick. He is sharp, intuitive and always brought a distinct point of view to projects both massive (a glossy, gorgeous 20+ page honeymoon booklet) or mundane (monthly e-comms). Nick's wide lens approach to design made working with him a collaborative and truly creative process every time.
