Nicole Keyser

I am a creative and detail-driven Graphic Designer with experience across branding, event marketing, digital content, print design, and social media. Skilled in translating ideas into bold, engaging visual communication that connects with audiences and strengthens brand identity.

With several years of experience working in fast-paced creative environments, including serving as the sole designer for multiple large-scale events and brands, I thrive under pressure, manage projects efficiently, and bring a strong balance of creativity, organisation, and execution to every project. I am passionate about thoughtful design, storytelling, and creating visually impactful work across both digital and print platforms.

Managed multiple projects simultaneously, including logo design, brand development, product packaging, editorial design, and promotional materials.

Collaborated closely with clients and teams to translate concepts into visually compelling designs while meeting deadlines and maintaining brand consistency.

Yachting Industry at Freelance (2013-01 – 2017-12)

During my time as a stewardess I moved from a junior position to 2nd stew and Chief stewardess when needed. I acquired a variety of skills with regards to customer service and hospitality. Working on a yacht requires patience, creative thinking and professionalism above all things. Long days were handled with hard work and good humor.
