Hi! My name is Nico Casavecchia;
I was born in Buenos Aires in May 13th, 1981,
the same day the pope was shot while riding in
his popemobile (I love that word).
It was a big day for my mom, the pope and me.

I am self taught (I tried to study graphic design
but gave up primarily because of math.)
So i decided to try the real world and tricked
the owner of Bridger-Conway into hiring me.
But BC wasn’t for me, my family financed me
during the adventure of getting a new job with
no experience or career. Luckily, I succeeded.
I started working at a post-production house as
part of the web design team.

Then I made the move towards advertising:
I got a job at an ad agency,
Dialogo, as a “junior art director.” I didn’t really
know what a “junior art director” meant,
but it sounded good.

While working there in 2001, a video installation
I did with a friend earned an award at the
1st ever OFFF festival.

By the time we landed in Barcelona,
I decided that it was the place I wanted to live,
so i called my boss and told him i may
stayed longer than 15 days.
He said he already knew. That year, one by one,
5 of my friends decided to live in Barcelona.
I started at S,C,P,F… an ad agency,
yada, yada, yada, two years later I founded
AÄB with two friends, Chini and Agus.
We did all sorts of things to pay the rent:
VJing, illustration, music videos, TV spots,
graffiti, toy design and all sorts of
other stuff.

Our work was featured in places like
MTV,Res Magazine, Idn. We also were able
to collaborate with agencies all over the world.
During the AÄB years, i discovered my calling as a
director, and that's what I've been doing for the last 4 years.
