About

Run by someone who lives in the gym

Nightridge Creative is Derek — a marketing manager at a fitness equipment company by day, and a graphic designer, videographer, and marketing analyst the rest of the time. He's spent years around gyms, powerlifting meets, and jiu-jitsu mats.

That means your project gets more than a designer. It gets someone who knows why a member signs up in January, why they stay, and what makes a meet poster worth hanging on the wall.

Based in Charlotte and working with clients across the Carolinas and beyond.
