Nicholas Reid is a 25 years old graphic designer that graduated this year, with a Bachelor of design innovation, majoring in communication design. I am of proud Samoan descent, which I am starting to explore, and incorporate into my graphic design work. Prior to studying design, I served in the Royal New Zealand Navy for four years, where I made many great memories.

Before pursuing my design education, I had the honour of serving in the Royal New Zealand Navy for a remarkable four-year period. This invaluable experience allowed me to create cherished memories and forge strong bonds with my fellow servicemen. Through my time in the Navy, I developed a deep sense of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance, traits that continue to shape my approach to design. 

Now, armed with a diverse set of skills and a newfound appreciation for my cultural roots, I am committed to crafting visually captivating and meaningful designs that honour my Samoan heritage.  

As I embark on this creative journey, I am excited to push the boundaries of graphic design, experimenting with various mediums, styles, and technologies. By continuously expanding my skill set and embracing new artistic influences, I am dedicated to creating innovative and impactful designs that captivate and inspire. 

I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead, as I strive to make a meaningful contribution to the world of graphic design.
