Nic Holden is an artist and designer from New Zealand who lives in Mallorca, Spain, with her two
children. Her journey in design and architecture began when her family decided
to build their home out of earth brick. As a curious teen, the process of making their own
air-dried earth bricks, and then seeing those bricks come together to form a house, left
a lasting impression. Holden would go on to study architecture, interiors, furniture and
lighting. She worked for many years as a design lecturer and practitioner, before pivoting
to innovation, startups, and human-centred design, consulting for large companies.
