Hi, I’m Nathan.
Brand designer & photographer.

Nathan’s story

Great brands win, not because the logo is clever, but because people trust what looks like it belongs, and trust is what gets you picked over the other option. That is just what I have seen, over and over, working with founders and business owners whose brands had fallen behind the actual quality of what they do.

I did not start out as a full time brand strategist. For over a decade I designed brands and shot photography on the side, in the evenings and on weekends, while working for organisations including iiNet, agencies, non-profits, and churches. Along the way I worked across brand identity and photography for businesses in hospitality, health, construction, and creative services here in Perth.

That is how I learned the hard way that design without strategy is just decoration. So I built STORY, five steps, always in the same order, that make sure the thinking happens before a single visual gets made. Study, Tailor, Original, Reveal, Yours.

When you work with me, you deal with me, from the first call through to delivery. No handoffs, no account manager relaying messages, just a personal brand experience from start to finish. Brand, photography, websites, and everything in between all come from the same person, so it actually feels like it belongs together.

Outside the studio, it is batch brew mornings, sunrise drone shots, a cheeky bit of travel, jazz (sometimes hip hop), and never saying no to a good gluten free pastry.
