Nicolas Pauly is a London-based creative leader with 12 years of experience blending graphic design, art direction and type design across studios, publishing and independent practice. Trained at ECAL and the Beaux-Arts de Lyon, he has moved from junior roles at Sang Bleu to senior creative positions and directorships, founding Nfp design and running his own studio. He currently combines a senior creative designer role at Hannah Martin with AIDA-certified freediving instruction, an uncommon mix that underscores a disciplined, detail-oriented approach informed by both risk-aware physical practice and visual craft.
