Nick has over 13 years of experience working in environments such as a print studio to design agencies and currently in a freelance capacity.

    Nick can deal with all the details and technical aspects of your artwork/design allowing the creative director to spend time doing what they do best. I have re-touched many different photographs over the years and restored old and damaged photographs too! (You can save pictures you thought were beyond repair!)

    Nick is available to work at your office in most locations, remotely, at weekends, anytime!

    Most of Nick’s time at school was spent day dreaming about being a musician. Luckily he was able to channel this into a music course where he met some very good friends and future band members. Nick gained fantastic ‘musical training’ with a band called ‘The Hot Bananas’ who performed original material with diverse influences from Frank Zappa to Kiss!. Then in 1994 he was asked to be the bass player for ‘Marion’. Day dreaming had proved to be very fruitful!

    Nick recorded 2 albums, several singles and videos with Marion all of which entered the UK Top 40 charts. The single ‘Sleep’ was used for a Citroën advert and ‘Let’s All Go Together’ was used in the Pamela Anderson film ‘Barbed Wire’. Along the way he was lucky enough to have worked with Johnny Marr (The Smiths) who produced Marion’s 2nd album and the single ‘Miyako Hideaway’. As a band member Nick toured many countries/and continents including Japan, USA, Canada, Scandinavia and Europe also performing at festivals such as Glastonbury, Phoenix Festival, Hultsfred (Sweden), T in The Park and the V Festival to name a few!

    During time as a musician Nick became interested in graphic design and chose this as a career whilst settling into fatherhood!
