Product, people, design, engineering. I’ve never been able to pick just one (and I’m not about to start now).
Hey, I’m Nathan. For the better part of two decades I’ve been building digital products and leading the teams that ship them, across startups, agencies, and maturing companies.
I’ve been an agency owner, a Director of Product, and a Chief Technology Officer, leading everything from branding projects to mobile app development to systems architecture. Somewhere in there I also found time to be an IC as an engineer and a designer. I wish I could say there was a plan to all of that, but mostly I just love every part of building products.
When I’m not working, I live in Bellingham, WA with my wife, a rescue cat with a personality disorder named Dave, and a black lab who is just happy to be here. I’m proudly among the Pacific Northwest’s slowest and most snack-motivated hikers; I use my landscape photography habit to cover for that fact.
I’d love to chat: nathan@nathancarnes.com
