About me

Hey, I'm Nathan, a freelance designer and art director currently based in London. My practice is diverse, spanning the intersection of multiple disciplines from brand identities to campaigns, websites, books, spaces & objects. Working with clients both big and small, I take a playful and conceptual approach to projects with the intention to produce work that is holds purpose, connects people and empowers positive change. Some of such work has earned awards and recognition from organisations such as D&AD, Design Museum Designs Of The Year, The Guardian, CNN, It’s Nice That and Creative Review. My work has also been exhibited at locations such as Design Museum (London), Torino Graphic Days and Design Museum Holon. I have also done lectures and workshops at the likes of Falmouth University, Design Museum (London) and Torino Graphic Days.

  ME & EUPostcards from post-EU Britain.

This creative, collective view of Brexit is now documented in the ME & EU postcard book. Through its perforated, tear–out format each postcard is able to be physically used as a means to continue the dialogue with our EU neighbours. Project founded by Nathan Smith (myself) & Sam T Smith.
