My name is Nick Schneider, and I’m a sophomore studying Graphic Design at Montana State University. With over 4 years of experience in the Adobe Creative Suite, I’ve developed a strong foundation in design principles and technical proficiency across a range of tools.

I was born and raised in Billings, Montana, where I attended Billings West High School. It was there that I discovered my passion for design through the mentorship of Russell Walks—an accomplished designer known for his work with clients such as Disney, ESPN, Netflix, 20th Century Fox, and Lucasfilm. Under Russ’s guidance, both in classes and independent studies, I gained valuable insights into the professional world of design and learned how to effectively adapt to the needs of diverse clients.

Much of my experience to date has been in sports media, as I design social media graphics for the MSU club baseball team that I am a part of. As well as managing our social media, I run my own freelance account where local Montana athletes can reach out to me for affordable, high quality commitment edits to celebrate their next move.

At MSU, I'm committed to refining my design skills, exploring new creative opportunities, and contributing meaningfully to the design community.
