I am a branding and interaction designer with 11 years of professional experience in corporations and with independent clients. I understand how to organize information in a meaningful and user oriented way and specialize in complete branding solutions for small and large businesses. I believe that less is more and apply that philosophy to my work which results in clean and minimalist design. I designed the biznik logo and worked on the interaction and visual design for the biznik website.

  Praise and more for the work Nadja does! First she has a fantastic eye for elegance and simplicity. Second, she understands that none of us on here are Bill Gates or Paul Allen with endless financial resources. And last, she delivers what she says she will deliver. She's the trifecta of small business support in an area we all most need it: web design and branding!!!!

  Thanks, Nadja. I'll be back, that's for sure. Be well, Kelleen   [less]

  I have a confession to make. And a lesson to pass on.

  A little while ago, I contracted with Nadja to design my brand identity. I was ready with my name and strategic direction. She took over and brought back an amazing design. Clean. Direct. Downright beautiful.

  Problem is, in the final week of the design process, I changed the name of the business. The name change made the design obsolete, and I was left with a high-class, kick-ass design I couldn't use. I am still kicking myself.

  So my Biznik friend, do consider Nadja and her partner Viviane to create your brand identity. But before you do, make sure you really know who you are. Nadja will take it from there and your business will quickly ascend to the top strata of brands-that-look-great.   [less]

  Nadja is the swiss watch of design - sophisticated, dependable, elegant, and precise. If you want an immediate example of the calibre of work she does, glance at the Biznik logo (or maybe you've seen Microsoft Office 2003, which she designed at Microsoft). When we chose Nadja to create the logo, we got far more than just a designer - we got a branding expert who took us on a voyage of self-discovery that not only resulted in a logo, but helped us define what we're doing and how we do it. If you're looking for a rock-star designer, she is the real deal.   [less]

  Posted Sat, 17 May 2008 by Admin

  You’ve designed a new logo, identity, and business papers for a good client. It looks great. They are happy. Then a simple request derails everything: “Can I get a copy of my new letterhead to use in Microsoft Word?” That seemingly innocent question has driven more than one designer to distraction. While this week’s creative tip won’t [...]
