NICOLA JANE FRANCIS

Hello! I’m so glad you could join me and my collection of designs, films, and animation.

Officially, I go by Nicola Jane Francis, but you can call me Nicky. I specialise in crafting animation with story at its heart, through tactile lines and bold textures.

Communicating complex ideas with animation and design can help build awareness, spark emotion, and connect with your audience.

If you would like to collaborate with me then please feel free to reach out through I’d love to hear more about what we could cook up together.
