👋 Hi, I’m Nate.
I am a designer and product leader. Currently, I’m a principal product designer at Gecko Robotics.
I work with hardware, software, and operational experts to design our field software—operating robots, turning atoms to bits, and informing big decisions for the world’s hidden infrastructure.
HOW DO I DO THAT?
-
I envision future products through storytelling to align and convince leaders of what the right solution is—and that we’re on the right path. This gives my teams more agency and credibility.
I ground our process in getting real customers to experience our solution to validate and learn. This accelerates our progress.
-
I build talented, inclusive teams through recruiting and purposeful combinations of individuals. This puts people into situations to succeed and grow.
I use coaching skills as they encounter challenges along the way. This ensures that they are getting the most benefit out of their growth opportunities.
-
I’ve led teams through being acquired and an internal merger of business units.
I make sure the whole team has the right business context to connect execution to strategy.
And I use my design experience and craft to clarify our direction—critique, inspiration, instruction, and rolling up my sleeves whenever needed.
