NATHAN EZRA TRIMM 

I am a concept-driven, detail-oriented Senior Graphic Designer, Art Director, and Illustrator with 15+ years of experience in branding, identity, marketing, print, packaging, web, social media, illustration, and various other multidisciplinary design projects. My expertise thrives within the restaurant, retail, and food and beverage industries, working with clients as partners, ensuring their business concepts and brand identity are elevated.

I have worked on large, national, and small, individually-owned brands. I love pushing the boundaries of branding and design to create memorable brands that grab consumers’ attention and imagination, engaging and solidifying the brands in their minds, converting them not only into brand-loyalists, but brand-evangelists.

My design and illustration work has both won numerous awards and has been featured in various advertising and design periodicals.

My philosophy is to get creative with my client partners, work hard, and have fun while doing it!
