Nick Ostermann – Designer

An easy-going designer + creative director with 20+ years experience. I specialize in children's, inspirational, and biography.

Overview

I'm a global creative veteran of 20+ years with advanced degrees in education and leadership. I've built and led teams to work with the biggest clients in the world, including AT&T, Colgate, IBM, Microsoft, and Nestle. Still, nothing beats the chance of working 1-on-1 with authors to bring their words to life through compelling and memorable visuals.

I've worked with authors and publishers to design hundreds of covers across varied genres. I'd love the chance to bring my expertise to yours as well!
