Designer, Associate Director of the Agence Si | Studio irresistible - Paris, with J. Liniger and Chloé Verlhac, he has been directing the Si agency in Paris since 2009. He is an expert in digital communication, data visualization, motion design and projects related to research and science.
He supports companies and institutions, particularly on issues of ecological transition and CSR. He is in contact with leading international players on the subjects of climate change and sustainable development initiatives, and was notably an official observer at COP24.
His course in Applied Arts and Interior Architecture in Caen continued in Paris, in graphic arts and multimedia, at the Institute of Higher Studies in the Arts.
Expert in questions of mental manipulation, he has been working since 2007 as a consultant with State services, in particular MIVILUDES, as well as with NGOs (CAFFES, UNADFI, CCMM, etc.) on the links between mental influence and communication. . As part of his research on issues of human rights and freedom of expression, he studied law at the University of La Sorbonne in Paris.
Since 2011, he has been part of the international collective of visual artists "The Meeting Point Project", exhibited in Paris, New York and Beijing. Since 2017, his work as a photographer has also been articulated within the "Formats" collective, with the choreographer A. Roques.
Nicolas Jacquette is co-founder of the Press & Cartooning Global Forum, an international meeting on the relationship between Press Cartooning and Democracy. He was awarded, with J. Liniger, by the "Gérard Vandenbroucke Prize" 2021 for the promotion of press cartooning in the world and the defense of freedom of expression.
In 2023, he has been awarded by 7 international design prices for his graphic work for the French Presidency of the European Union Council in 2022.
A good design can change the world, starting by the mindset of one human. As a designer my goal is always to work on project that are improving society, building bridges, empowering invisible and weak people, having an impact on the reality and alter it for the greater good.
For the "Tremors" project, the request of the museum was to create an animation movie to introduce children to seismology.
I wanted to go further, and create a tale that could convene the rich graphic patrimony of the Amazigh culture, and explain geology in a form of a like traditional tale, told to children before sleeping for centuries, aside a camp fire, in the middle of the mountains, under a sky full of stars. It's the reason I wanted also the film to be recorded in Tifinagh/Tachlhit as original soundtrack and the music to be composed and played by an amazigh artist born and raised in Agadir, Abdellah Bennabbou. There is also a little surprise during the final credit, that will bring back emotional memories to all morrocans.
