My name is Nick Longo and I'm a graphic designer and brand specialist. I've always loved drawing and art. My dad was an architect and it really fascinated me that he had found a career that was creative. He taught me that find something that you're really passionate about and make it your work. For me that passion is graphic design. I like even just walking around town and looking at stuff specific signs and posters and graphics, even architecture. It is communicative art. I worked in corporate graphic design for about 15 years. I became really aware that there are a lot of companies out there that can truly benefit from what I do. The graphic design, the packaging, the brand knowledge. And that led me to finally think it's time to do it on my own and start my own business. I just needed a way to reach all these people. With the WIX platform, I was able to make a stunning website with minimal cost and time. With no web design experience, I was able to figure it out all on my own. I love the way you can start with a blank canvas and build something very unique. Everything's under one domain name, website and email. The form builder tool is great. It captures all the information from guests to my website. And the social media links are fantastic because they link right up to all my accounts. I really thrive on growing and taking on bigger challenges. My creative process changes with almost every project. As long as I'm exceeding my customers expectations, my process is working.
