code does not show up in the forum well (html code usually wont show up at all) unless you format it using markdown. There is a markdown cheatsheet in the bottom right of the text box, or you can watch the tips for asking questions video thats on the right side of this page for a walkthrough on formatting code

your nav element IS INSIDE of the link, not after it. You also forgot to add the unordered list inside the nav. you need to move your nav and unordered list after the closing </a> tag

<header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <!-- This is where your nav and list need to go, after the link -->
    </header>
