Hi, I'm Nate!
A product design leader working on streaming apps at Crackle.
I'm a designer who enjoys tinkering with code. I'm a staunch advocate for users in everything I do, and often let my curiosity lead the way to help gain a full understanding of the problem and any constraints that might be a limiting factor.
While my passion clearly lies with the aesthetic and experience design of a product, I also take great pleasure in the collaborative aspect of being a product designer. No design team can truly be impactful without in-depth collaboration with their research, product, and engineering counterparts.
After starting my career in New York, I've spent the last decade in sunny Southern California. I have a degree from James Madison University with majors in both Media Arts & Design as well as Graphic Design. The first half of my career I worked on financial services and banking products, and the second half has been in the entertainment industry (both music and film & television).
You can also find me on Mastodon, Threads, Twitter (though it's mostly a ghost account since it became "X"), and maybe Bluesky, where I'm mostly striking up conversations about design, sports, and general topics that pique my interest.
