Hi, I'm Nikki LaMountain, a freelance illustrator and graphic designer who loves telling stories through visuals. I create illustrations for ebooks, print books, posters, brochures, website banners, video game characters, and animation backdrops, and I developed independent artist-run zines that raised thousands for charity. I design social media content that follows brand guidelines, keep tight deadlines, stay organized, incorporate client feedback, and collaborate with other artists and writers on multiple projects at once. I previously led social media and outreach for Nihongo Master, creating daily content with Canva and Adobe Creative Suite, growing Instagram from 6k to 44k and securing influencer partnerships. I’ve also designed for clients like Atara Twersky, boosting engagement across Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest, and building content for podcasts, websites, and email campaigns.
