Who we are …

Nico, who was born and raised in Normandy and studied architecture and industrial design in Paris before moving to the US in 200l, knows more than a thing or two about eyewear. A two-time ACE Excellence award winner — in 2021 for his collaboration with three-time Grammy winner Maxwell and in 2022 for his design on the relaunch of American Optical with the Oxford frame - Nico's career as a designer and creative director is unparalleled. He also won the Vision Expo award for best booth design and best brand activation two years in a row.

Certified as a speaker for the American Board of Opticianary, Nico is an ambassador for Vision Expo at the Vision Council and is responsible for the vision and conceptualization of the NOW trend pavilion and awards during Vision Expo East in NYC.

Marissa, who holds an MFA in photography from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, is an award-winning photographer recognized for her work on campaigns for Converse, Lucky Brand, and American Optical. Currently based in Chicago, the husband and wife team bring a unique perspective to creative endeavors - each building on the strengths of the other.

The couple met in 2002 while living in New York and spent a number of years in Los Angeles. The creation of UN-TI-TLED has been a natural progression of their life and work. They now design and consult on a variety of brands including 20/20 magazine, CEV collection, Fitz, Anwuli, Amazon, and Whoop.
