Will Hudson Director and Editor

Will founded It’s Nice That while studying Graphic Design at The University of Brighton. Initially hailing from the Birmingham, he moved to London after studying to work at a graphic design studio, honing his skills in print and web before founding studio HudsonBec with Alex. As HudsonBec ran its course, It’s Nice That became the main outlet for his work where he continues to design and art direct as well as write on the blog every day.

Alex Bec Director and Editor

Alex joined as co-director and editor of It’s Nice That towards the end of 2008. Having built up a good working relationship with Will while working on their self initated project If You Could in Brighton, he moved to London to work at Peepshow Collective, sharpening his project management and direction skills. On leaving Peepshow and setting up HudsonBec, it felt like a natural step for the two to also join forces on It’s Nice That, creating a more succinct studio environment and adding their individual skills.

Florencia Soto Editorial and Creative Assitant

Originally hailing from Mexico City, Florencia moved to the UK to pursue degrees in Economics and International Relations as well as Media and Communication. Having joined in January 2010, her cultural awareness and know-how have made her an asset to the studio.

Aside from the permanent studio members, you may also see articles on the site written by other people who aren’t necessarily part of our guest post feature.

Jez Burrows Regular Contributor

Jez is an Edinburgh based design/illustrator who has been writing for It’s Nice That from the very beginning and was responsible for programming the very first version. Jez graduated from the same graphic design course as Will and Alex, just a year later, in 2008 and has built himself a portfolio of real quality in not that long at all. An undoubtedly talented pensmith, his copy never fails to bring a smile – watch out for inevitably more writing to come.

Bryony Quinn Intern and contributor (January – September 09)

Bryony interned a couple of days a week at It’s Nice That between January and September 2009, while in her second year studying illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. An absolute asset to the studio, she flew the nest to concentrate on her final year studying, leaving her legacy in the form of a fantastic body of posts that drew on her comprehensive knowledge of (among other things) film and vintage illustration.
