Hey, I’m Nathan.
Senior Product Designer at Zappos 

Senior Product Designer 8+ Years in UX and Product Design

 

With over 8 years of experience in user research, product strategy, and UX design, and 15+ years in visual design, I specialize in crafting intuitive, accessible, and impactful digital experiences.

I am currently a Senior Product Designer at Zappos, an Amazon subsidiary. I lead initiatives focused on improving product discovery, AI-driven personalization, and mobile-first shopping experiences. My work blends user research, interaction design, motion design, and accessibility to create solutions that improve user engagement and drive business results.

Collaboration is central to my process. I facilitate workshops, align cross-functional teams, and present to executives to ensure that designs meet both user needs and strategic business goals. I am passionate about creating scalable, data-driven solutions that inspire, delight, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
