Young Guns
Young Guns is a portfolio competition awarding creative professionals 30 years and under, including designers, illustrators, entrepreneurs, and more!
2014: The theme for Young Guns 12 was "Creativity Never Dies", best exemplified in a video game created by dozens of past Young Guns winners where the game character would live forever. This year’s Young Guns Cube was definitely a show stealer at the October 9, 2014 ceremony. Designed at Deutsch Inc. by Young Guns winners Menno Kluin (YG6) Juan Carlos Pagan (YG11) and Brian Gartside (YG12), this laser-etched and hand-polished beauty now sits on the shelves of 31 young creatives around the world.

His latest short Wednesday with Goddard won the Jury Award for Best Animated Short at SXSW 2017 and earned him a spot in the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase.
Nicolas enjoys teaching and has been a guest lecturer in schools across Europe and Canada, including Kingston University, Goldsmiths University, Hyper Island and Atelier de Sèvres. He's also been on award juries for Anima Brussels and Motionographer.
