Hello and welcome, friends new and old! I hope you’ve enjoyed the content I’ve cultivated over the years and marked my personal growths I’ve made in my adventures in graphic design. 2025 marks the 3rd year I’ve lived in Colorado. I’ve lived with, met, and worked with fantastic friends, built a family for myself, and wandered deeper into a local community. I am thrilled to be able to contribute to this state’s success and I look forward to continuing my journey here.

Due to shifts in the political climate in the United States, I was unfortunately let go from my previous employment, which sadly means closing the most recent chapter of my professional life. I am honored to have worked with such wonderfully talented and highly skilled friends at Master Magnetics Inc, and I will carry the memories I made there long into my years. My coworkers created an environment where I could grow and thrive, further confirming my desire to become more than I ever thought I could be. While I worked for North Carolina 4-H, I learned that my passions extended beyond creativity and professionalism to accessibility and equity. At MMI, I found traces of these areas and more that further developed my own personal brand.

The day in the life of a marketing specialist brings new challenges that requires efficiency, humility, and community. Life moved faster than I was used to. This necessitated a streamlined workflow which manifested in the form of learning and implementing new keystrokes in the software and operating systems I was using. I needed to learn how to edit more constructively to make quick changes as need be. This brought me to learning more from my coworkers. I realized that I won’t grow if I rely on my own creativity and skills to carry my vision. Collaboration and seeking advice are key components to advancing skills and building community.

At the start of my 5th year in the industry, the community built with my peers is something I intend to build now that I’ve firmly established myself in my home. Wherever there is a job that builds itself on that aspect, I shall be. Whenever I can bring my talents and perspectives to a job, I will. Even beyond the work and projects, I will bring my own personality and interests wherever welcome and appropriate. I happen to be a huge foodie and cooking is my JAM.

I hope to get to know more about the opportunities I can pursue here in Colorado to have that community. I am looking for jobs in the Colorado Springs & Denver areas, so please feel free to reach out to me at nick@nhynesdesign.com so we can connect! ^-^
