Nilly’s day:

In the summer of 2022 I reclaimed an ailing family business and wanted to splurge on a banging sign design. The shop has changed names over the years and as I was playing around with
some keywords in Google, I happened upon Nick Garrett’s work.

Images: Nilly Ilgüy, London


When I came across the designs Nick had created and read about him some more, I knew instantly that this was my guy.

Nick’s work speaks the feel”

It drips with classiness, soul, and creative flair that I felt immediately drawn to.

The name I settled on was simple and very meaningful to me – my own.


I reached out to Nick to get the ball rolling immediately and was so surprised to feel seen,
understood, and celebrated. It’s not easy to be that good! His warm way with me helped me to
see some challenges and interpret the creative solution with ease and mastery.


The day of the sign painting, I spent the whole time watching Nick & Seraina paint and
documenting the experience; it’s a memory I’ll always cherish. To witness a genius at work is an
experience never to be missed, I was blessed to get this rare chance with Nick.


I consider my shop’s sign a work of art and this gives me perpetual joy whenever I see it or
customers / passers by stop me to share their delight.


Nick Garrett is a true master and one I’ve had the honour and privilege to witness his craft in
motion. I look forward to working with him again in future pursuits.

“Nick’s work is simply stunning.

He was able to take our brief and bring it to life with his creativity and expertise.

He knew exactly what we wanted to achieve. The result – a distressed and beautiful piece of handcrafted art/signage on the column and bulkhead at our new Knightsbridge Store.

His ability to layer paint to give an aged look was simply superb along with his hand drawn typography and flourishes. Nick is a great guy to work with and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“I met Nick when he was trialling a new range of painted furniture when there were very few others doing the same.

He had a fantastic eye for shape and colour. Importantly, he was always willing to discuss ways in which his product could be tailored to our specific needs and worked hard on new colours or finishes that were always stunning. I would recommend him as someone who is extremely personable, always flexible and with a really creative and original mind.”

‘Nick worked with us for many years’

about ten years ago; working closely with Tricia Guild and myself in producing specially painted antique furniture. Nick was provided with specific fabric swatches and left to his own devices in producing pieces which worked perfectly to the colour briefs. His ability to produce work that was in perfect compatibility to our textile colours and the ‘look’ of the collection was inspiring and sold very well.

Nick therefore had great creative input into the look of the furniture at the time of our London Store and very much involved in the creative process.

Shop Sign writer London ZUCONO NGS

Zucono is a shop with a unique personality in a unique location. Our product is artisan gelato, Italian ice cream hand-made in small batches following the traditional method.

We wanted the sign for our shop front to represent all of this: uniqueness, tradition re-discovered, timeless style and quality.

Nick interpreted this brief with exceptional results: working from our design he was able to suggest improvements and deliver a genuinely hand-drawn sign that immediately stands out compared with anything else I have seen, while still looking ‘classic’.

What’s more, it didn’t break the bank and the whole job was done very quickly and without fuss.

I would certainly recommend his work and will use him again.

“It was great to bump into Nick again recently..

Nick could always be relied upon to come up with original and often stunning designs for pictorials and had a real feel for the genre. He worked hard and did a lot of work for myself and my colleagues dealing with Allied Breweries regional re-branding. His work was always outstanding. Happy memories!”
