Hi, I'm Nero.

I'm an art director and designer working across brand identity, campaign creative, and experiential design for beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands.

Over the past 5+ years I've built brand worlds from the ground up, art directed photography, designed digital experiences, and creative directed live events. I've worked with brands including LolaVie, Amika, Hyperice, CBC Gem, and Sharma Brands, and with founders building something from nothing.

My work sits where strategy meets culture. I care about design that feels as considered as it looks, and experiences that stay with people after they've left the room.

Beyond client work I run Setlist, an intimate live events series that blends music, art, and atmosphere to connect people through experience.

I'm currently open to opportunities in New York and beyond.
