NATHAN ZIEMANSKI
BASED IN VANCOUVER, CANADA
I use design as a lens to challenge thinking, shape strategy and drive real business impact — with a founder’s commercial instincts and a decade delivering for Fortune 500 brands.
My own company — I designed and shipped it end to end, owning product strategy, UX/UI and the design system, and overseeing our team of developers through the production React Native build.
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.
I design the experience and write the production code myself — what we decide together is exactly what ships, and one name is accountable for the outcome.
Founding Midseason taught me what design costs and what it earns. I bring that commercial judgment to every engagement.
My workflow is AI-native — a Figma-to-code pipeline and AI-assisted build process that compresses concept-to-validation cycles.
Calm, direct collaboration from someone who genuinely cares about getting it right. I keep the process light, communicate early, and treat your team like my own.
“Nate is just a great person to have on a team. He’s easy to collaborate with, brings good energy to the process, and genuinely cares about getting things right.”

“Nathan has changed the way Nanoose First Nations operates. Without him we would not be nearly as efficient as we are today.”
“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 He was easy to work with, worked and was patient with our outdated technology.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!”
“We couldn’t have kicked off our GTM activities without him!”
“Ripple Health AI was so appreciative of Nathan’s responsive and creative work, and how professional and helpful he was — we couldn’t have kicked off our GTM activities without him!”

“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.”
“He thinks through problems from angles other people miss, and he has a knack for turning even a vague ask into something polished and impactful.”
“I’ve worked with Nate for many years, and he’s one of the best designers I’ve had the chance to collaborate with. He brings creativity and sharpness to every project, and he consistently delivers work that goes above and beyond what was asked.
What sets Nate apart is his consistency. It’s not that he has occasional flashes of brilliance, it’s that every single project gets his full attention and care. He thinks through problems from angles other people miss, and he has a knack for turning even a vague ask into something polished and impactful.
Beyond the work itself, Nate is just a great person to have on a team. He’s easy to collaborate with, brings good energy to the process, and genuinely cares about getting things right. Any team or company would be lucky to have him.
I recommend Nate without hesitation to anyone looking for a designer who combines skill, creativity, and reliability in equal measure!”
“His insight, responsiveness, and expertise have made him an invaluable partner in helping us create a platform that truly meets people where they are.”
“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.”
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.
