Who I Am.

I’m Nate! I’m a product designer, researcher, and strategist with 20+ years of experience helping teams do their best work.

I partner with ambitious teams to tackle big, fuzzy challenges. From Fortune 100 fintech, to field techs in the wild, to $100M jets, I’ve helped organizations simplify complexity and get critical work across the finish line.

But it’s not just about what we make, it’s how we work together.

 

How I Work.

The best work happens in small, trusted teams. I bring a calm, structured presence that helps teams move quickly, stay focused, and ship real value without burning out or spinning their wheels.

You can count on me for…

  • Autonomy + Ownership

  • Collaboration Without the Chaos

  • Transparency That Builds Trust

  • Inclusion That Fuels Creativity

  • Human-Centered and Outcome-Focused

  • Low Work in Progress

  • Right-Sized Work

 

Let’s Work Together.

If you’re facing a high-stakes moment, a murky challenge, or just need someone steady at the wheel, I’m here for it.
