I connect creativity, design, and business strategy to help organizations navigate an AI-driven world, creating trusted brands, meaningful experiences, and new possibilities for growth.
Hi, I’m Nate, a creative and marketing executive based in the Pacific Northwest. I work where strategy, innovation, and creative meet, because that’s where good ideas become real businesses. At Nike, as Design Director, I led digital storytelling for both the FIFA Men’s and Women’s World Cup. As a partner at Meaningful Works, I helped build a full-service agency onto the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in America. Today, I partner with executives and organizations to apply creative leadership and AI in ways that build trust, drive growth, and create brand platforms organizations can scale.

Experience
With more than two decades of experience as a creative leader, I work alongside C-suite executives, brands, and agencies to solve complex business challenges through strategy, design, and creativity. AI is changing how we create, but the real advantage is still human intelligence. Judgment, curiosity, empathy, and the ability to connect ideas are what turn possibilities into meaningful outcomes.
I have had the privilege of sharing my expertise as a guest lecturer at the Parsons School of Design, where I take great pride in mentoring the next generation of designers. Additionally, I’m currently an active member of the board of directors at Brilliantly, leveraging my experience and insights to support the organization's success.
