Nick Kapica is a Director and Principal at Isthmus in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington, where he is an integrated designer blending graphic design and urbanism. Formerly he was SeDign Lead at Wellington City Council, and before that, Academic Experience Designer and senior lecturer at Massey University College of Creative Arts. Before emigrating to the southern hemisphere, Nick was the founder and partner of SV Associates in Berlin, and a visiting lecturer at the University of Arts in Bremen where together with Peter Rea he initiated and co-directed the Profile Intermedia international conferences held annually in Bremen. He also taught Visual Communication at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.

Nick is a designer passionate about communication but interested in all fields of design – his favourite projects are those combining a multitude of fields. He maintains a fine eye for detail throughout all projects that often draw on his rigorous approach to typography. He received a degree in Visual Communication from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication and an MDes from Massey University College of Creative Arts.

Nick and I collaborated on several projects including Pipe Dreaming at FESTA. We are co-chairs of SEGD's Wellington Chapter. He is one of my favourite designers and collaborators, and his ability to make things happen is legendary.
