Creative direction / Product design / Practical AI

Better experiences.
Stronger creative.
Smarter systems.

I’m Nathan. I connect the creative, the customer journey, and the systems behind them.

I like big ideas. I like them even more when people actually use them.

How I work

The idea, the experience,
and the result belong
in the same conversation.

I look at the creative and the customer journey together. Then I look at the process behind them.

Sometimes the answer is a clearer screen. Sometimes it’s a different question. Sometimes it’s a tool that helps the whole team do better work.

A little about me

I’m happiest untangling
something complicated.

My work spans creative direction, product and UX, performance marketing, and AI. The common thread is understanding what people need, figuring out what’s working, and making the next version better.

At hear.com, I’ve established and led the design team, mentored designers, and stayed close to the work. I’m comfortable guiding the direction and getting hands-on with the design, prototype, or workflow.

I’m looking broadly across creative leadership, product design, and AI roles, especially where creative tools and useful systems are part of the problem.
