I'm Nathan, a Swiss Army Knife* creative director that solves complex problems with innovative design.
With over a decade of experience as a designer and a creative leader, I am constantly seeking to learn and expand my skills to solve complex problems with creativity and make every facet of my work more effective.
I have worked on projects for small, national, and global brands and have been instrumental in raising tens of millions of dollars in funding, increasing qualified sales leads exponentially, doubling brand awareness, and winning awards for exceptional and impactful work.
* Because of my unique background in design, I combine a wide range of skills and experiences to tackle any creative challenges across strategy, design, and execution— just like the iconic all-in-one tool.

I built and managed a suite of sales tools and apps that streamlined the sales process and provided real-time performance dashboards, ensuring reps had actionable data at their fingertips. Concurrently I designed eye-catching competition posters that clearly communicated goals, timelines, and prize tiers to drive engagement, and created cohesive swag items (branded custom apparel, collaborated with New Era hats, and designed limited-edition rewards) strategically tiered to incentivize top performance and reinforce team identity.

Having built a new UXUI team within marketing, we worked with the broader design team to redesign the brand and website while developing a cohesive visual system and messaging framework that was applied across the entire company; this included creating new logos, color palettes, typography, and a refreshed site architecture with updated UX patterns and responsive templates. I produced a comprehensive library of assets including marketing templates, social graphics, presentation decks, signage, and print materials, and even designed operational items such as ID cards, email signatures, stationery, internal documentation, and building signage.
