noteworthy

I am Stefan T. Nickells, a Senior Designer with roots in the west: Texas, Montana, and California. There is a compelling mythos that emerges in the American West: the explorer's sense of discovery. I believe every brand has a voice and a distinct personality to be discovered. Mapping worlds, narratives, and visuals onto core client desires evokes an honest telling of a company's 'where from', 'where to', and 'what for'.
