I'm Nicholas Aceves, a graphic designer and artist based in Highland, California. Having earned my bachelor's degree in graphic design from California State University, San Bernardino, my focus is crafting bespoke brand identities, hospitality collateral, and custom illustrations for clients ranging from small local businesses and non-profit organizations to boutique chain hotels. I specialize in blending hand-drawn elements with clean design to create a distinctive visual look that effectively communicates each brand's essence, values, and personality while connecting with viewers.

I find inspiration for my work from my cultural background and local and regional community. While my work may be viewed as simple, I approach projects and experiences with curiosity and versatility. When I'm not face-to-face with a computer screen, I find leisure in being a home barista, cycling, wandering the outdoors, attending local art events, and being an occasional chef.
