I CAME TO DESIGN THROUGH PEOPLE, NOT PIXELS.
I'm Nathan.
I'm a UX and Product Designer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I like to build things with purpose: reflecting the souls of brands, users, and artists who want to show the world who they are, and where they are going. I bring empathy, a rebellious refusal to be boring, and a conviction that small, personal nuances can carry enormous weight.
About Me
Before I was a designer, I spent years in customer service leadership, solar energy design, and sales. Different titles, same instincts: listen carefully, understand what people actually need rather than what they say they need, and make something complex feel simple. That's what I was always doing. UX design just gave it a name.
I formalized those instincts with a UX Design Certificate from TripleTen, where I learned the full process hands-on: user research, journey mapping, wireframing, prototyping, and full product design flows in Figma. Along the way I discovered I love the aesthetic side of design more than I anticipated. The craft of it. The way a visual decision carries emotional weight.
I'm drawn to work that's building something that actually matters to people, whether that's in gaming, healthcare, education, or wherever the next interesting problem lives. The industry matters less than the impact.
