Nicky Place 

Co-founder and business director of 'Build'.
                                                                                

Interest in creativity came from encouragement from family and her love of Aways making things
In terms of studying looked at Leeds for university option and didn't like it initially. 

She decided to study at the Liverpool College of Art as her place of choice  (Environment is really important to practice)

She was responsible for end of year show at her university and  for the graphics and illustration of it

Fears about leaving Liverpool. Needing a job, wanted to work on portfolio while working 
Worked as part of Synopsys - gaming company - graphics and production on games


Establishing build

Travelled for a long period of time. On return, they wanted to work on 'build' and work together. 

By working and finding different studios in order to grow as a brand. 

In terms of the studios future, they've explored other ways of expanding their practice 

Portfolio 
                                                                                

A lot of Nicky's early work comes from the games industry, her practice has evolved within creating bold and innovative advertising and branding. 


Virgin America - 

Build has worked closely with virgin America within their New 2017 city illustrations and animations, they've also worked in creating a set of digital outcomes which were used for multiple formats for their website, email newsletters to internal presentations while embodying the fun and irreverence core of the virgin America brand.









They also worked for virgin America with a series of animations for 'IPO' day. The animated pieces uniquely advertise the individual routes the airline flies
