Hey! I'm Nate. These days you can find me studying Advertising & Graphic Design
at Humber Polytechnic. Before that, I graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University
with a degree in Media Production. I have always gravitated toward projects that
aimed to visually excite, or captivate audiences in an entertaining manner. In 2020,
I directed an online concert and interview series titled "Fake Avenue". This project
aimed to tell the story of what it meant to be a musician from Ontario during the
COVID-19 Pandemic. Storytelling has always been the key to my fascination with
advertising, and it is my belief that in order to ideate effectively, you need to be
willing to seek out adventure. This past year, much of my creativity has stemmed
from a solo road trip I took throughout the United States back in April. Driving through
13 states and reaching the Grand Canyon, I attended concerts, baseball games, and
hiked places such as Arches National Park in Utah. Regardless of where my career
journey as a creative takes me, my goal will always be the continual pursuit of new
ways to intermix my life experiences within the stories that brands are looking to tell.
