Our History

Nesnadny + Schwartz began in 1980 as a creative partnership between renowned graphic designer Joyce Nesnadny and fine arts photographer Mark Schwartz.

Over the last forty years, we have grown into one of the most influential and innovative visual communication firms in the country. Our work has been hailed as groundbreaking nationally and internationally. We’ve been honored by over 1,000 awards in graphic design, development, illustration, interactive media, investor communications, marketing, photography, public relations, and recruiting, and featured in just about every publication devoted to visual communications.

Fundamentally, we’re still a creative partnership between visionary designers—but we do a lot more than graphic design.
