Hi, I’m Nicolas Martin, a French Motion Designer and Art Director. I’m always open to new propositions and I’d be delighted to discuss your project over a coffee. I bring the best of my expertise to every project, fully tailored to your needs, and I’ve gained experience in diverse environments that shaped my practice.
Education has become a passion and I teach a lot. Sharing knowledge with fresh minds has become essential for my growth as both a person and a professional. Since 2022 I’ve been teaching motion design at AGR in Nantes, and I’ve led departments and designed curricula at L’École Multimédia while collaborating with brands worldwide during my freelance career.
