A Bit About Me
The Nitty Gritty:
I am the Owner and Creative Director here at Neise Design with 10+ years of professional experience.
I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2008 with my B.F.A. in Graphic Design and began an internship with a small boutique card making company.
From there I took on a job at a globally recognized food packaging company as a Graphic Designer and Marketing Associate. I was promoted within the company to Print Production Coordinator and learned the ins and outs of large format print production.
I then moved on to working with a Promotional Products Business in the heart of Greek Town, Chicago. I learned a great deal about the different types of printing for promo items as well as web based order forms, large scale event design, menu design and working within tight brand standards.
Living the life:
I moved to Los Angeles in the summer of 2019 to pursue my most recent position as lead designer with a small boutique wedding invitation and events company. While working there I learned the art of letterpress printing and foiling among the other amazing types of printing that wedding invitations can lend themselves to. I was also able to work on multiple large scale events, in turn learning how to handle the fast paced world of weddings and large scale corporate events.
I started Neise Design to do what I love, design. I love helping other creatives make their dreams into realities, whether it's a new brand creation, designing wedding invitations, help with a website or anything else you might need designed i'm here to help.
I live for a good lavender latte, hiking with my wonderful husband, and re-reading Harry Potter over and over.
Whatever you can dream up, l'd love to help you make it a reality!
