Colleagues describe him as "Nathan is an innovative designer, which is to be expected from a creative director. What sets him apart from others are his skills with people and ability to not only strategize but also execute that strategy in an effectively prioritized manner. Nathan is passionate about digital design. He wants to create something that is both aesthetically pleasing and intuitive for a user. He is able to consider the user mindset and their desired experience even when that output is very different from current state. He’s not afraid to break the mold. This external consideration extends beyond design and into how he treats those around him. Nathan is a great motivator who knows how to listen to others. He’s also an empathetic manager who can prioritize the important things in life for himself and his team. This cultivates a positive, committed, and collaborative environment. Nathan never turns down work, often picking up additional assignments when his team is stretched thin. He understands how to get the most of everyone, in terms of both quality and quantity (it’s not often someone can earn both). He creates workflows that are for everyone and adapts to the needs of others. Nathan knows how to run a team and make it part of a larger organization. Listening to others is a skill that many think they have, but a select few are truly great at it. Nathan is one of those few. This not only involves accepting new ideas, but asking for them and appreciating them. It involves hearing what others have to say even when you disagree and being willing to incorporate their ideas when logical. It also means understanding others and kindly educating them on how they can improve and grow. Nathan’s listening skills make him not only a great teammate, but also an exceptional mentor for any aspiring professional. Lastly, Nathan understands the big picture. Knowing how to prioritize projects is difficult, but being able to set a strategy and execute it is something else entirely. Nathan considers impact, importance to the user, and business priorities when assigning tasks, and he does so by balancing the long-term and short-term needs of a company. Any hiring organization would be lucky to have Nathan." and "Nathan has proven in his many years at hear.com that he is an enormously gifted designer and creative mind. We worked together on projects for both hear.com and our secondary brand soundbright.com. He is very hands on in his approach and he is able to take abstract ideas and concepts and turn them into tangible assets in no time. He takes great initiative and is not afraid to take the lead on new projects. As a colleague he is easy to work with, shows great empathy and always has the customer top of mind when exploring new ideas. He is reliable, focused and eager to help. A true team player. As a leader he is well respected by his peers and colleagues and always leads by example. He has been a great mentor to many team members over the past years. It was a pleasure working with Nathan and I would definitely work with him again in the future."
