I’m Nephi Sicajan, a graphic designer and creative director, specializing in editorial, brand, and publishing design. Driven by a deep focus on typography and visual systems, I build cohesive, culturally resonant narratives that live seamlessly across print and digital spaces.
I create visual experiences that connect people to stories, places, and culture through exhibition graphics, publications, environmental branding, and typography. My work combines research, storytelling, and production to turn ideas into engaging physical and visual experiences.
I recently earned a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Arts and Sciences with an emphasis in Graphic Design from San Diego State University. There, I focused on exhibition design, editorial design, environmental graphics, and visual communication systems.
My experience in commercial print production gave me a strong foundation in preparing press-ready files, large-format graphics, and marketing materials across print and digital media. It also strengthened my understanding of typography, prepress, production workflows, and quality control.
My work has been recognized by the AIGA 50 Books | 50 Covers competition for Specialized Vocabulary, a publication created in collaboration with Letterform Archive.
Whether I'm designing an exhibition, publication, or brand identity, my goal is to create thoughtful, accessible, and memorable experiences through design.
Outside of design, you'll usually find me exploring typography, photography, museums, archives, and the stories that shape the built environment.
