How to center my navigation on a mobile device

When I make my screen smaller (or use my mobile device), the navigation (portfolio, about, contact) does not center, nor is there a bar (like the one in the video).

Here is my index.html and responsive.css

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Hilary | UX Designer</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
        <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:400,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
      </head>
      <body>
        <header>
          <a href="index.html" id="logo">
            <h1>Hilary Ledoan</h1>
            <h2>UX Designer</h2>
          </a>
          <nav>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
              <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
              <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
            </ul>
          </nav>
        </header>
        <div id="wrapper">

The main issue was that you had a bunch of extra }. These were ending your @media queries earlier than you intended.

When you clean those up, the bottom border of the header and the placement of the navigation is as you expect it to be.

Check out this codepen to see what I mean (I've included the main.css at the top in order to get the base styles right).
