Hmm, I am not 100% sure about this, but I am fairly sure that you should have your navigation and list after the closing link tag.

You wrote:

<a href="index.html">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
    <ul>
  </nav>
  <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
  <h2>Designer</h2>
</a>

I am fairly sure it should be like this:

<a href="index.html">
  <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
  <h2>Designer</h2>
</a>
<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
    <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
