About

I’m a dedicated Illustrator and Graphic Designer, with proven Marketing and Communication skills. I have a MS in Publishing with an emphasis in Design, and a BFA in Fine Art, and have been designing and illustrating for over 6 years. My design specialties are in long form documents (catalog and book covers and interiors), digital graphics and data visualization. My versatile illustration skills provide a unique touch to any branding, editorial, infographic or book project.

Outside my studio/office you can find me running, working out, making art and cooking veggie forward meals for my family.

I have a passion for the work I do, and would love to chat with you about creative needs you might have for your next project!

—Per Henningsgaard, Director of Publishing, Portland State University

“Before working with Lorna Nakell, I had a strong sense of her artistic talents, but I didn't yet appreciate the breadth of her skills, talents, and her deep understanding of audience, production, and collaboration. Lorna is a gem”.

—Dennis Stoval, Director of Publishing (retired), Portland State University

"Lorna was not only easy to work with, but showed great intuition with book cover design. She listened to requests and specifications carefully and designed a stunning cover."
