Nixis was one of those projects that quietly became a defining part of my practice. Over four years, I designed a series of album covers for the artist — each one a fresh challenge, each one pushing me to think harder about how visual identity and sound can speak the same language. Music has a way of demanding honesty from design. You can't fake it. The cover has to feel like the record.
My process started with listening — really listening — before a single sketch was made. From there, I'd build out concepts around mood, texture, and typographic voice, working closely with Nixis to make sure the art reflected where the music was going, not just where it had been. The branding evolved release by release: bolder, more refined, more confident. Watching that progression across the body of work is something I'm genuinely proud of.
By the time we wrapped in 2018, the project had shaped how I approach long-term creative relationships. Consistency matters, but so does growth — and finding that balance across a multi-year series taught me more about design than almost anything else I've worked on.
