Hey, I'm Quantanik, but everybody calls me Nique!
I'm a Jill of All Trades 🤹🏾♀️ when it comes to design. From logos and brand identities to advertising, motion graphics, and prototypes, I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that!
An Untraditional Designer with a Unique Edge
I have over 10 years of experience in graphic design, but my path hasn't been linear. From 2012 to 2018, I hit pause to pursue a manufacturing career at Chrysler (now Stellantis). Even while working on the line at JNAP, clients kept asking, "Nique, when are you going to design again?" That's when I realized design wasn't just something I did — it's who I am.
Fast-forward to today ⏩ I've spent over 10 years at Stellantis, balancing multiple roles with my passion for design. I'm also wrapping up my B.A. in Graphic Design & Digital Media with a concentration in UX Design at SNHU (Graduating in November 2025 🥳) and running my own design studio, NiqueDesigns LLC.
My nontraditional journey — from automotive operations to creative design — has given me a unique blend of technical precision and innovative strategy, allowing me to craft solutions that are visually compelling, user-focused, and results-driven.
Now, I combine everything I've learned — branding, advertising, typography, UX/UI, and motion graphics — to create clean, impactful designs for clients and future employers who value innovation and versatility.
