Corissa Nelson, M.Arch

Hi, I'm Corissa. I am a freelance artist, illustrator, and graphic designer. A lot of my work happens around the areas where design intersects with ministry. I wandered over to digital art from architecture. Both areas bring together design and technology. I have enjoyed the challenge of working for some fantastic architecture firms, and I also really loved teaching an upper level architecture design studio as an adjunct professor. Now, I am running my own small business and especially enjoy collecting ideas and working with my clients.

Many of my client projects have been for non-profits, small businesses, ministries, and WELS churches. Take a look at some of those client projects here.

Pastor Will and Lauren Dunn

The Dunns make it possible for me to offer bilingual art packs. They translate and review the Spanish language materials that go into worship art packs. I very much appreciate their contribution and ideas.
