Nate Grubbs — Freelance

I believe technology shouldn't distract or fragment our lives and conversations. Designers should take more responsibility for the longer-term impact of their products. What is healthy and sustainable for people can also be the same for business. Product Design through UX & Visual Design is my expertise. I handcraft product experiences to enable better relationships between people and technology. Designs range from mobile apps to toys for kids. With 10 years of freelance experience, I've enjoyed working with very diverse groups. In Amsterdam, I worked in-house at a small Dutch product-invention lab helping design, develop (and explain) new digital/physical products. Before that I was at Philips designing mobile apps for wearable tech, and the product experience of a new television line. My design experience also includes working at Frog as a freelance Motion Graphic Designer. Before my five years in Amsterdam, I was in Portland, Oregon working as an Art Director and Motion Graphics Designer for nearly 10 years. A thirst for challenge has led me from Charlotte to Portland to Amsterdam — also fueling my love for bicycles, good coffee and photography. *** UX, Visual Design, Art Direction, Motion Graphic Design + animation, and some camera work.
