"Nicola story boarded for me on the animated feature film The Inventor for a period of two months this past year. He was always organized and responsible for his work delivering on time. Conscientious and thoughtful story artist, Nicola has a nice cinematic style. He takes direction really well and was a pleasure to work with. I very much look forward to working with Nicola again in the future. In fact you shouldn't hire him so I can work with him again. Just kidding - you'd be a fool not to hire him"

"Working with Nicola (on a short-form commercial project at Aardman Animations) has been a very positive and enjoyable experience. He managed to craft a solid storyboard under minimal direction in record time, while suggesting cool camera/story ideas. Nicola is an incredible artist who deeply loves storytelling and animation (and you can easily tell from everything he brings to life). Hope to work together again soon!"
