Hello! As you've probably guessed, my name is Nathan. I'm a multi-disciplinary designer-researcher, based in my hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland. 

Fundamentally, I design for people, whether it be on an individual scale, or a more socio-cultural one. Emotions, and dynamics between people is something I find incredibly fascinating, and that, I'm sure, is rooted in my interests in history, politics, and culture. Combined with my love to create from a very young age, design presented itself as an opportunity for me to act on my interests in tangible and impactful ways. In a nutshell, I use design to leave a positive impact on people's lives, no matter how small.

​

I think the reason I have such an affinity with design, lies in its nature to imagine a preferred future, taking issues and problems, and working towards a solution. On a very simple level, design is a profession that seeks to do good for others. I like to think that both of these elements speak to the optimist in myself, and can be shown in my various projects. They will vary in approach, though the core aim still exists throughout.

If you are interested in reading more about what I think to be the power of design, and being creative in general, I wrote a piece titled, 'If Just For a Moment: A Manifesto For Hope.' It is the crux of why I do what I do, and the backbone of all the work you'll see here.
