Let's work together!
Cozy Helsinki restaurant interior design with warm lighting and stylish table setting – hospitality branding in Finland.

I grew up having, a deep lack of confidence, and social anxiety. For a long time, I didn’t believe I had a place or a future — until the restaurant industry welcomed me in. The industry helped me believe in myself , helped me grow, and shaped who I am today.

Through Nicoslocos, I give back to the industry that changed my life. We craft authentic visual identities and creative services that help restaurants, hotels, and bars stand out, connect with their guests, and thrive.

When your brand tells your story well, it brings people together and builds lasting success — and that’s the heart of what we do.

Why Visuals Matter: The Power of First Impressions

Research shows people remember images, designs, and visuals 6X better than words alone—and 90% of the information our brains process is visual.

That’s why every menu, website, photo, and video we create is designed to stick in your guests’ minds. From the moment they see your restaurant online to the time they visit in person, strong visuals make a lasting impression—turning first-time visitors into loyal regulars.

Science-backed design: people remember visuals better than text or other cues (Paivio, 1971; Nelson et al., 1976).

Let's create something amazing!
