Nick Kapica was born in 1967 in London and is now based in Berlin. In 1989 he graduated from Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication with a degree in visual communication and was awarded the Peter Werner Award of Distinction in Design. In recognition of typographic achievement he has been elected a member of the International Society of Typographic Designers.
In 1989 he joined the design department at ‘The Independent’ newspaper and subsequently joined the team developing the ‘Independent on Sunday’. He is passionate about visual communication and has strong interests in architecture and design. His favourite projects are those that require the combination of a multitude of disciplines, he is not afraid to tackle the unknown and is excited by challenges. He is committed to delivering excellent design and maintains a fine eye for details throughout all projects.
Since 1996 Nick has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Arts in Bremen and together with Peter Rea he initiated and co-directed the Profile Intermedia international conferences held annually in Bremen. In 2004 he decided to concentrate entirely on SV as they attract ever challenging projects such as the identity programme and way finding for the international airport SXF in Berlin, and the exhibition design for the Bank of International Settlements in Basel.
