CV
Nelson Djouwayed, brand and graphic designer

              I’m a versatile graphic designer who turns ideas into brands people remember. I focus on clear concepts, strong visuals and careful execution.

From brand identities and packaging to layouts and interfaces, I take every project from the first sketch to the final file.

SKILLS

Skills &
capabilities

I design brands and the pieces that bring them to life: identities, packaging, layouts, interfaces and content. Every piece is built on clear hierarchy, strong typography and an idea that holds it together.

PROCESS

My creative
design process.

Great design doesn’t need to be complicated. My process is built around understanding the idea, finding the right visual direction and taking care of every detail.

Discover & define

Every project starts with understanding the idea behind it: the business, the audience and what the design needs to achieve.

Explore & concept

I explore directions, references and sketches until I find a concept that feels distinctive and right for the project.

Design & refine

I turn the chosen concept into a polished system, refining type, color, layout and detail with each round of feedback.

Deliver & evolve

Final files ready for print, web and production, plus guidelines so the design keeps working as it grows.
