Hey, I'm Nate.
A Lead Product Designer.
With over 15+ years of design experience, I create thoughtful user-centric journeys and engaging UI experiences. My design path has led me to collaborate with startups and renowned brands alike – where my skills in UI design & governance, facilitating user research, design canvas workshops and stakeholder/team management have contributed to solving business problems.
Design Systems are also a passion of mine – whilst they can come in many different structures, I love the liberation and efficiency they bring to a business.
There's also a story about how my band had a No.1 hit in South Korea...

Another time maybe.
I'll tell you over coffee.
