Both — that’s the whole point. I design the experience and write the production code myself, so nothing gets lost between a designer’s intent and a developer’s interpretation. If you already have engineers, I can also plug in as design-plus-front-end alongside them.
A website that wins customers.
Live in weeks, not quarters.
TRUSTED BY MICROSOFT, PWC, THE SEATTLE KRAKEN + FORTUNE 500 TEAMS FOR 10+ YEARS
I’m a designer who writes production code. One senior person takes your project from strategy to launched — the site your customers see is exactly the one we designed, with nothing lost in a handoff to a dev shop.

Launch ConsultingYou’ve had two bad options.
[ OPTION A — THE TEMPLATE ]
Looks like everyone else’s
A DIY template gets you online fast, but it wasn’t designed around your customers or your offer. You end up with a brochure, not a salesperson.
[ OPTION B — THE AGENCY ]
Slow, expensive, diluted
A strategist briefs a designer, who hands off to a developer, managed by a PM. Your intent gets thinner at every step — and nobody owns the final result.
[ THE FIX — ONE HYBRID ]
Designed and built by the same person
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: mine.

Every engagement starts with a free intro call — you’ll get a fixed quote before any work begins.
[ PATH ONE — NEVER THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN ]
I keep it updated, secure and fresh. You run your business and email me when you want something changed — it’s usually live the same week.
[ PATH TWO — RUN IT YOURSELF ]
I build on editable platforms, hand over clean documentation, and walk your team through it. Change your own content without ever calling a developer.

01 Intro call
Thirty minutes, no deck, no pressure — we talk about what you’re trying to achieve and whether I’m the right fit.
02 Strategy & scope
I map the approach and give you a fixed quote — you know exactly what it costs and when it ships before any work begins.
03 Design & build in weekly loops
You see real, working progress every week — live links, not static mockups — and steer while steering is cheap.
04 Launch & support
We ship, then you choose: I keep running it, or I hand over the keys with docs and a walkthrough. Your call.
Don’t take my word for it.
“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… 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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fair questions.
Landing pages start at $6,500 CAD and ship in 2–3 weeks. Full websites and products start at $15,000 CAD and typically run 4–10 weeks. Ongoing partnerships start at $5,000 CAD a month. You get a fixed quote on the intro call follow-up — before any work begins, never after.
If you want to — absolutely. I build on editable platforms and CMS setups, and every handover comes with clean documentation and a walkthrough so your team can change content without calling a developer. And if you’d rather never touch it again, that’s just as valid: I’ll keep it updated for you. Both paths are first-class; you can switch anytime.
Every project includes a post-launch window for fixes and polish. After that, you choose: run it yourself with the docs and walkthrough, or move to a retainer and I’ll keep it updated, secure and improving. No lock-in either way — you own your code, your accounts and your content.
Yes — I’ve partnered with consultancies and agencies for years (six of them with Launch Consulting alone). I can work under your banner with your clients, or as a named senior partner on the team. Either way, your clients get senior design and build capacity without you hiring for it.
The right tool for the job, not a house stack. Fast static sites for marketing pages, modern frameworks with managed backends for web apps, and editable CMS platforms like Webflow when you want full content control. My workflow is AI-accelerated, which is why I ship in weeks, not quarters — and you always own the code and every account.
Vancouver, Canada — Pacific time. I work daily with teams across North America, and weekly loops with async updates mean timezone overlap is rarely an issue. If you’re further afield, we’ll find a rhythm on the intro call.
