I'm Nicholas. I'm a designer & marketing professional. If I'm not building things with my hands then I'm on the computer creating stuff, mostly for Troupe429 - the CT queer bar I own, designed, & manage with my husband. Check out my LinkedIn visual resume to learn more about me.
In October 2019, I was shocked babyshungry.com was available & thought it made a decent home to my creative work. Previously, my portfolio was hosted at iloveyourmotherscookies.com, named after the infamous quote from 2015’s erotic thriller-horror film The Boy Next Door, directed by Rob Cohen and written by Barbara Curry, starring one of my idols, Jennifer Lopez. Special thanks to the guy that owns nicholasruiz.com and won't give it up.
I'm available for freelance work, mainly:
Anything involving Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects, &/or Dreamweaver
Social media content creation &/or management
Event Design & Management, including: collateral (save the dates, invitations, reply cards, programs, on-screen materials, branded merchandise), vendor/talent management, seating, & more
Illustrations & Promotions, including: flyers, social media banners & content, GIF's, & more
Antique / product sourcing & sale
Creative problem solving
Resume available upon request
