What I do.

I think in whole journeys, not single screens — and in outcomes, not deliverables. I lead the design process end to end, across every touchpoint, with the commercial mindset to turn great experiences into measurable business impact.

TLDR; I do a lot. Just send me an email: EMAIL ME

[ TESTIMONIALS ]

Don’t take my word for it.

Nathan is one of those rare designers I often turn to for inspiration. A true full-stack designer, he combines a deep understanding of the end-to-end design process with a strong commercial mindset; understanding not just how to create great experiences, but how design can drive meaningful business impact.

What truly sets Nate apart is his ability to think and operate as a design leader. His approach to strategy, methodology and business transformation goes far beyond the craft itself. For any organisation looking for someone who can use design as a lens to challenge thinking, shape strategy and drive meaningful transformation, Nate is that person.
Mohammed Asif AliExperience Design Lead, PwC
Working with Nate is a great experience, he listens and actions quickly, has solid instincts and delivers on his commitments. We’ve done several projects together where he’s brought his wide range of creative skills to interesting and sometimes difficult challenges — always with a smile.
Russ WhitmanCEO, NodesourceEx. Globant
At SOUND, many of our clients come to us during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. Nathan understood from the very beginning that our digital experience is not simply a technology solution, but an extension of the care we provide. His insight, responsiveness, and expertise have made him an invaluable partner in helping us create a platform that truly meets people where they are.
E.M. “Eddie” PasatiempoChief Impact Officer, SOUND Behavioral Health
Nathan has changed the way Nanoose First Nations operates. Without him we would not be nearly as efficient as we are today. He implemented AI tools and systems in our Social Development department and we can’t wait to bring him back to expand that work into more departments! He was easy to work with, worked and was patient with our outdated technology. Nathan was also very compassionate and supportive when explaining what AI was and how we can implement it. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone in the market of looking for an AI consultant!
Kelli WattsOperations Director, Snaw-naw-as First Nation
Nathan brought a level of polish to our program branding and arena graphics that made the Iceplex feel like a true extension of the Kraken brand, on the ice and everywhere in between. He made it easy for our team to run with it.
Krista LeesmentVP, Business Operations, Kraken Community Iceplex
Nathan has shown a great amount of care when it comes to our experience using Midseason. He quickly developed a deep understanding of how we operate as a league and business. He has done an incredible job transitioning us from our old paper ways to the impressive product he has created. It’s been fascinating to see everything come together.
Shane HydeCustomer of MidseasonOwner, Oceanside Outdoor Sport
I highly recommend Nathan for any user experience project, from wireframing to app design to brand identity. His ability to build from scratch to finished product — defining direction and driving design thinking throughout — made him invaluable to our clients. He listens with intention, captures client feedback accurately, and turns it into designs that feel both intuitive and aligned with business goals. Nathan’s collaborative style elevates every team he works with, making him a sought-after and trusted partner.

A decade in, I still care about the little things — the easing curve, the empty state, the load time. I work straight, aim high and keep it fun. When the craft is tight, the work takes off.

Let’s build
something together.
