Designed to shipship

Benson Low

Product, Design and Research Lead

Worked closely with Nate on a design system audit, and he delivered exactly what you want from someone in that space: clarity, rigour, and practical impact.

What stood out was his ability to translate complex environments into clear, actionable recommendations. Not just critique, but a path forward that teams can actually implement.

If you need someone to assess, stabilise, or evolve a design system with real-world constraints in mind, Nate is a solid choice.

Product Manager

Nathan always showed a clear passion for building the right products for the right users. Over the years, I have worked with him on multiple product teams and in each one, Nathan demonstrated a deep understanding of the problem and produced creative designs to meet the needs.

He is able to deliver on tight timelines, works well in a team and responds well to feedback. I enjoyed working with Nathan and look forward to seeing what he creates next.

Alex Plummer

General Manager

Nathan has done great work in Virgin Australia’s Digital Design team as a Senior UI Designer; establishing the foundation for our design system, reworking design creation processes that streamlined our workflow and applying a much-needed technical framework to drive consistency and high-quality design across our channels.

I appreciate his no-nonsense approach and clear communication style. You can rely on him to tackle complex design challenges and deliver practical solutions.

Joseph Cafazzo

Executive Director

Nate is a joy to work with. He would be my go-to designer when I sought exceptional creativity. He is so good at looking at all of our design inputs and synthesizing them into prototypes, and then on to realizing them fully.

His designs for our work at SickKids are still relevant and thriving, years after he conceived them. I have nothing but praise for Nate as an exceptional design colleague.

Dan Fischer

Head of Design

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nathan as he has played a key role in advancing our design system. He brought a sharp creative eye and strong attention to detail that consistently elevated the quality and consistency of our design work.

His contributions helped us lay solid foundations for scalable and cohesive design practices.

Luca (Luke) De Angelis

Design Director

Nathan has been a great asset to HCF and to the design team overall. He joined during the redesign of our flagship application, and quickly took charge of some delicate UI processes. His deliverables have been of the highest standard, raising the bar internally and helping the rest of the team with custom tools and helpers.

I would not hesitate hiring Nathan and am genuinely looking forward to working with him again in the future, should our paths cross again.

Matt Bennett

Lead UI Designer

Nathan has a methodical approach to solving UI design problems and always considers how his work integrates with our wider experience. He balances accessibility and development feasibility with touches of fun and brand personality.

Nathan has also set up a solid foundation for Virgin Australia’s Design System, including processes, amazingly detailed documentation, ways of working across squads, and a clear plan for how we can scale in the future.

Christian Newski

Product Design Leader

Nathan is one of those exceptionally rare individuals who is not only extremely skilled at what he does but also genuinely enjoys it.

He consistently goes above and beyond, effectively balancing his confidence with being an attentive listener. He possesses a proactive nature and consistently strives for self-improvement.

When it comes to task delegation, you can wholeheartedly rely on him. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have Nathan as a valuable member of my team.
