Directing motion,designing tech.

I'm Nico — a director and animator based in New York, and lately something closer to a creative technologist too.

For about eight years I've been making motion for brands like Coach, PepsiCo, Fendi, JKR, Palantir and Accenture. Identity systems, campaign films, runway work, the occasional stop-motion rabbit hole. I like taking things from concept all the way through post, mostly because I want to be there for the part where it stops being a deck and starts feeling like something.

I started out in stop-motion in Brooklyn, learned to direct at Coach, and then spent a couple of years in Barcelona getting curious again — two master's degrees, a few installations at Sónar+D and Llum BCN, and a financial data platform I designed during a residency at GVC Gaesco that later drew a formal acquisition offer. That detour taught me how to build the things I'd spent years animating, which has turned out to be a more useful habit than I expected.

These days the work I'm most drawn to sits where those two sides meet: motion that lives inside a product, interfaces that move well, projects where the craft and the logic have to agree with each other.

Always up for a good brief — full-time or freelance.
