Welcome to the portfolio site for myself, Nadia Merola.
My first real passion is digital art direction and design, but don’t let that fool you. I love design of all kinds. With over 10 years experience in the design industry, and almost 6 years of experience as an art director, I have expertise creating interactive and engaging websites, integrated promotions, banner ads and social media campaigns. Out of the digital realm I love to paint, cook, and sew (mostly pillows at the moment). Here are a few examples of the digital work I’ve been up to lately.
