Nahid Yahyaee
Multidisciplinary Graphic Designer
Selected as 2025 GDUSA Student to Watch
Bringing ideas to life through graphic design and visual arts has always been at the core of my creative journey. As a creative, multidisciplinary graphic designer based in Chicago with 7+ years of experience in brand identity, typography, and visual communication. Adept at creating cohesive branding systems and compelling visual content across print and digital platforms. Recognized for research-based design strategies, typographic excellence, and creative direction.
​
My work blends artistic innovation with strategic insight, crafting compelling brand narratives, custom typefaces, and immersive experiences that
challenge the boundaries of visual communication. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a passion
for typographic expression, I integrate cutting-edge technology into my designs to transform spaces
into dynamic, interactive environments. Whether shaping brand identities, exploring creative
coding, or pushing the limits of storytelling through projection mapping, my work is driven by a commitment to originality, cultural storytelling, and meaningful engagement.
