I'm Nelson Lara
A graphic designer with expertise in UX/UI, creating visual solutions that blend creativity and strategy. I help entrepreneurs, small businesses, and startups stand out with designs that look great and drive real business results.
My creative story
I was born in Venezuela, where my passion for creating emerged at an early age. Even as a teenager, my imagination was alive with shapes and colors, leading me to discover my true calling in design. After earning a degree in Administration and Data Processing, I realized my creative spirit craved more. This brought me to the world of design, where I earned my Graphic Design degree in 2011.
Since then, my journey has been one of growth, challenges, and fulfillment. I’ve worked on incredible projects, taught others, collaborated with diverse companies, and built my personal brand—all driven by a deep love for what I do.
I believe that “when we do things with love, we enjoy them more,” and this philosophy guides every project I take on. Through my work, I aim to blend passion, creativity, and dedication into something truly meaningful.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in UX/UI design, web design, creative marketing, and brand creation. I firmly believe that the combination of my creative skills, technical knowledge, and passion for design makes me a professional who truly loves what they do.
Mi objetivo es seguir aprendiendo y mejorando en mi campo.

What do people say?
I had the pleasure of working closely with Nelson for almost a year and a half at Gameloft, where he served as a UI/UX designer for mobile games. Coming from a strong graphic design background, Nelson adapted admirably to the gaming industry, showcasing a diligent work ethic and a keen aptitude for learning and collaborating with others. Despite being new to the gaming field, Nelson's foundation in visual design greatly complemented his role. He proactively enhanced his skill set by completing a motion graphics course, which notably boosted his animation abilities—a critical aspect in crafting engaging videogame UIs. He also took English classes, significantly improving his language skills. I highly recommend Nelson for his dedication, positive attitude, and openness to learning. He continually seeks opportunities to refine his craft, making him a great asset to any team.

The talent that Nelson possesses as a graphic designer is one of the great skills that make him an excellent professional and expert in his field. During the two years we worked together on the Product Development team at ILG, I was able to witness your creativity through numerous proposals to revamp the souvenir product line for tourists, which, due to their great appeal, significantly increased demand and had a positive impact on the company's sales. Your organizational, planning, and collaborative abilities were always present when tackling each new challenge as a team, while paying close attention to details and being open to receiving and giving suggestions to deliver a great final product to our clients. Working with you was a pleasure, and I am confident that Nelson will be a valuable asset to the next organization he joins.
