The Person Behind the Pixels

Nate

I'm a designer and illustrator working from the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. My style leans modern-minimalist with bold, litho-inspired illustration and Western grit. Visual art isn't just work; it's a way of life, and I'll always be a scholar of design. When I'm off the clock, I'm hiking, shooting photos, or driving mountain roads where the best ideas tend to show up.

For over a decade, I've taken projects from first sketch to press-ready files: brand systems, apparel lines, print collateral, and publications. The difference is in the details. I know ink counts, stitch paths, substrates, and press limitations, so designs don't just look sharp on screen, they perform in production. That shop-floor knowledge keeps color separations clean, turnarounds fast, and launches on schedule.

I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from Colorado State University. That fine-art foundation paired with modern tools lets me move quickly without sacrificing craft or originality. I've built for startups and established brands across multi-season collections and cohesive campaign systems, keeping communication clear, details tight, and momentum high.

Call my work trail-tested, practical, durable, and built to perform in the real world. If you need smart, production-ready design, let's talk.

... In addition to bringing my vision to life, Nathaniel was highly professional and patient, providing guidance and direction where needed, but also open and receptive to my feedback and suggestions. I highly recommend working with Nathaniel for any graphic design or website design needs.
