Hello, how are you?

My name is Craig Kuznik Nelson and I'm an Associate Creative Director with a background in art and design. I was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN, but have spent the last 10+ years working at agencies in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and most recently New York City.

I've worked on big and small clients, doing everything from art direction and design to copywriting, photography, retouching, illustration, animation, videography, film editing, coding, and UI/UX design. I'll even throw in a little modeling/acting if you ask really nicely (please don't).

I'm (sadly) a diehard Minnesota sports fan, I enjoy doing the Sunday crossword, and I love going on long bike rides to clear my head. Whenever I find myself with leftover creative energy I love writing for film and music and am almost always in the middle of a few different half-finished screenplays and songs.

Let's make something great together!
