I’m a London-based graphic designer and illustrator with over 15 years of experience across design, environments, publications, and games. At my current role as a Creative director for an environmental graphic designer, I collaborate with architects and creative teams to craft wall and space graphic solutions for interior spaces, delivering 2D printed designs and 3D installations, in a completely remote setup from my base in London. My practice blends thoughtful conceptualising with a love for minimal, nature-inspired art. As the founder of Designbynadia, I’ve built a diverse portfolio—from illustrated stationery and wall art to book design, app branding, and packaging. I bring strong illustration, brand identities, typography, and interior art skills, with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to clear, engaging and immersive designs that resonate with real users.
