Authenticity is the core of impactful design.
A Little About Me and My Process
Who Is Andy Nichols?
As a multi-disciplinary art director and designer, my curious mind can quickly turn ideas into reality. Collaborating with clients and design teams, I effectively communicate design objectives and create consistently on-brand work for globally recognized brands. I am experienced in print and digital brand design, in-store marketing, commercial photography, and post-production. I have successfully brought campaign strategies to life from concept to delivery while maintaining clear and concise design objectives. As an art director and designer, I aim to explore and push the boundaries while creatively problem-solving and upholding the voice and vision of the brand.
I am constantly inspired and influenced by what is around me and passionate about sharing what I see. Photography plays a massive role in my work and has always been my favorite medium. It is universal and can take a design from good to impactful and memorable when used thoughtfully.
What People Are Saying
"Andy is one of those rare designers who can keep a fresh creative approach to any sized project. It could be as small at a concept presentation deck to a full on retail rollout. His attention to detail while still pushing the boundary of conceptual design is above reproach. I have been so thrilled to have him on my team and continue to be surprised by what Andy’s talented mind comes up with next."
Russell Borne
Manager NAM Brand Design, Adidas
"Facing budget and time constraints, Andy jumped into action with a positive energy and brought his expertise in art direction and design solutions to the Sev’s 360 Summer campaign for 7-Eleven Canada. Andy was resourceful, had a keen eye for detail and had an ‘all in’ mindset. Andy worked tirelessly while delivering quality work. It was an absolute pleasure having Andy on the team."
David Yu
Associate Creative Director, OLIVER Agency
"Andy works with unique speed, which on it's own is helpful, but is outstanding when coupled with his accuracy. I can count on Andy to take minimal direction and turn a project around quickly, and he doesn't falter in client interactions either. He has a calming sense about himself, and being rarely flustered affords him the ability to stay focused on often tight deadlines. Technical abilities aside, Andy is extremely respectful, thoughtful, and constructive as part of a design team. Highly recommended!!"
