Thinker — Savannah, GA
My name is Nicholas Fjellberg Swerdlowe. I am a bilingual Norwegian-American studying Industrial and Graphic Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design. My ambition is to work within the design field and ultimately acquire a Masters in Design Management. Since I was a child, artists and creative individuals have surrounded and influenced me. I have studied at the University of Oslo and served internships at two leading architecture firms in Norway.
