Nick Smith
Design Director

I have over 18 years experience working as both a designer and art director in NZ, UK and Japan.

Throughout my career I have explored the many disciplines of creative thinking and visual communication and maintained a purpose driven approach to storytelling. I work closely with my clients to build effective and engaging brands that truly resonate with their audience. While I have been fortunate enough to bring home many local and international awards, what truly matters to me is the collaborative work I have done on some truly incredible projects, which has given me an industry knowledge that I continue to apply to my work. I am passionate about the creative process and have a talent for identifying the potential to improve brands and people's lives through design thinking and brand experience.

At the end of the day, I believe that your story is what sets you apart from the rest, and I am here to help you tell that story through compelling visual communication. So let's work together to bring your vision to life and make a lasting impact in your industry.
