Michael
Nashed
I'm the guy wearing many hats—lead designer, art director, artist, and all-around expert in UI/UX and customer experience. Throughout my career, I've dabbled in every bit of design, from the initial idea to bringing it to life across various platforms.
I strongly believe that design isn't just about looks, but it's a powerhouse for driving marketing success.
I've worked extensively in finance and PR/marketing, using my skills in brand identity, data visualization, UI/UX, and illustration to benefit my clients. My gig isn't just about making things pretty; it's about crafting unique, intuitive visual experiences that truly make an impact. My work has given companies like Johnson & Johnson, GM Financial, Phillips, and SLB serious credibility and engagement, not to mention a boost in their bottom line.

When I'm not shaking up the design scene, catch me with a paintbrush, owning the table tennis table, or chilling with my wife and two awesome daughters.
