About

VISUALINGUIST is powered by Andrew J. Nilsen

Andrew J. Nilsen doesn’t care about titles. Call him a designer, art director, illustrator, photographer, flying trapeze instructor, white water rafting guide, or motorcycle whisperer and he will have a few stories for all of those things. At the end of the day, Andrew is just a guy who likes to work.

Some of that work has been recognized by the Society of Publications Designers, the Society of Illustrators, 3x3 Magazine, Creative Quarterly, Print Magazine, Communication Arts, the London International Creative Competition, CMYK Magazine, and more. He was recently named Graphic Designer of the Year by International Design Awards.

Formerly the Art Director at SF Weekly, Andrew is currently pursuing freelance illustration and art direction.
