My Backstory
Hi there! I'm Nes — a graphic designer with a passion for storytelling through visuals.
My design journey started in high school through a Communications Technology class, where I fell in love with Photoshop and the process of bringing ideas to life. Outside of class, I was always drawing, painting, and experimenting with colour — naturally drawn to creating things that stood out and made an impact. A recent hobby of mine is learning how to DJ, which has become another creative outlet for me to express myself.
I’ve always loved the blend of creativity and purpose, using design to solve problems and help people express their ideas visually. That passion led me to earn a diploma in New Media Production and Design at Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), and I’m now pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Advertising at Humber Polytechnic.
With a background in media production, brand identity, and illustration, I specialize in creating cohesive visuals across brand design, social media graphics, and elegant wedding stationery. My skills in Adobe Creative Suite, design theory, and visual storytelling help bring each project to life with intention and creativity. I’m always growing toward my goal of becoming an art director, and I’d love to collaborate on designs that feel truly unique to you.
My Design Values
I believe great design comes from staying curious. I’m committed to evolving — learning new tools, exploring trends, and challenging myself to keep growing creatively and professionally.
Curiosity & Growth
Every design choice should serve a purpose — whether it's to evoke emotion, solve a problem, or tell a story. I aim to balance beauty with function in everything I create.
Purposeful Creativity
I value clean, clear design that doesn't just look good — it feels right. I strive for simplicity that cuts through the noise and leaves a lasting impression.
