Complexity slows everything down

Always Tinkering, Always Learning

I constantly explore, test, and iterate to improve design and uncover what's actually going on beneath the surface.

Clarity from Complexity

I instinctively boil things down to their core, subtracting the noise so the real problem becomes clear—and solvable.

Problem-Led, Not Just Brief-Led

I question assumptions, identify the problem under the problem, and reframe challenges to unlock better outcomes.

Designing for the Margins

I advocate for overlooked or underserved users, especially in systems where access, clarity, or ease isn't evenly distributed.

Pattern Seeker

I learn by observing systems in motion. I spot the friction, connect the dots, and shape solutions that feel obvious in hindsight.

Proactive Systems Builder

When I solve a problem once, I systemize it—so no one else has to solve it again.

Relentless Simplifier

I practice subtraction as a strategy. The fewer moving parts, the fewer ways for people to feel confused, overwhelmed, or lost.

Self-Directed with Purpose

I don't wait for permission to fix broken things. I find a path forward and bring others with me.

product manager
at Provide/Fifth Third Bank

Working with Nathan was a truly collaborative experience. His ability to communicate solutions effectively and drive innovation made a lasting impact at Provide. Beyond his technical skills, Nathan brought warmth and genuine passion to our team. His proactive approach and deep problem-solving abilities made him a valuable team member whose departure was felt deeply across the organization.

Danny Oh
Product Innovation & Technology At Ironwood Venture

The design sensibilities that Nathan demonstrates and his thinking around user interaction result in really compelling wireframes and visual design. Nathan focuses on user interaction as much as visual design and that results in a UX that is simple, intuitive and compelling. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a product designer on sophisticated UX projects.

Ahsan Jameel
Software Engineer at Showit

Nathan looked over the entire UI/UX flow--from concept to user feedback--and the whole team was better for it. On top of working together, our desks sat right next to each other on the floor. Nathan was a joy to have in the office and we were always collaborating, shooting ideas back and forth, and just having great conversation. There aren't many colleagues like him and the next person will be lucky to have him on their team.

Jim Burch
Founder, CEO Virtuous Software

Nathan has the rare ability to combine great human-centered, user experience design with beautiful visual design execution. He takes the time to truly understand the users of the product he’s designing for – and then designs product experiences that are truly frictionless. It’s been a joy working with Nathan for the past 6 years.

Gabe Cooper
Product Director at Showit

Nathan strikes that delicate balance of moving projects forward while being aware of team members’ experiences and morale. His attention to detail shows in the projects and design systems he has created, always striving to solve real problems elegantly. I’m thankful for the time I’ve worked with Nathan professionally and I’m better for it.

Nate Sees
Founder, Business Strategist

Nathan is able to weave a keen eye for design with his personal curiosity to craft delightful products. I’ve worked with him on a variety of efforts including mobile apps, responsive web, enterprise software and brand strategy. He asks direct questions and designs frictionless user experiences. I highly recommend his work and continue to leverage his brain, skills, and network when possible. As a team member, he’s constructive, rationale, and eager to lead. He’s a self-directed professional who is acutely aware of his strengths and weaknesses, always improving and exhibiting a humbleness that draws others into his influence.
