Hi, I'm Nick — a motion designer based in Liverpool who's spent the last 12+ years turning ideas into things that move. I've made trailers for PlayStation, brought healthcare campaigns to life, and even helped a cat charity go semi-viral. If it needs motion, brand thinking, or a bit of animated magic, chances are I'm into it.

WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO
Over the past 12+ years I've moved between agency, broadcast, and freelance work. Since 2018, I've worked freelance for PlayStation Studios, creating motion design for some of their biggest launches, including the Golden Joystick Award-winning Helldivers 2 campaign. Alongside that, I've run my own studio, Nicholas Walsh Designs, since 2017, helping brands make motion graphics that actually mean something. Between 2019 and 2020, I worked with Havas Lynx, bringing healthcare and pharma campaigns to life without making them boring. From 2016 to 2017, I was Lead Creative Designer at OST Marketing, where I led a full company rebrand and created a Cats Protection campaign that hit 150k+ views, a Bronze Award, and a spot on BBC News. I started out at CITV from 2014 to 2016, cutting my teeth as a Junior Graphic Designer on a BAFTA-winning broadcast graphics team.
