Meet Nick Longo, the branding enthusiast with a California soul and a passion for all things creative. Hailing from sunny Southern California, Nick is the creative force behind Longo Designs, a branding studio that brings storytelling to life through design, with a particular focus on the food and beverage industry.

But Nick's talents don't stop there. He's also a design professor at his alma mater, California State University, Northridge, where he shares his love for design with the next generation of creative minds. You might even recognize his voice as one of the dynamic co-hosts of the ever-popular Deeply Graphic Designcast. When he's not shaping young minds or podcasting, Nick takes center stage as a host of the Office Hours show on Adobe Live.

Before conquering the world of design education and podcasting, Nick was the secret ingredient at Equity Marketing. There, he whipped up custom retail product magic for big names like Kellogg’s, Kohl’s, Burger King, Macy’s, Kraft Foods, DreamWorks, and Starbucks. Nick's portfolio includes over 150 internationally renowned entertainment brand licenses and a track record of 1000+ product launches across diverse industries.
