Lost in Translation
Holding my hands up
At some point, an undefined point that could be 6 weeks, 6 months or even 6 bloody years from now at this rate, I will sit down and discipline myself to go through the motions of designing and building a new portfolio website to showcase my work. For now you'll pretty much just have to take my word for it.
My name's Nathan. I'm an interactive / digital / web / UX / 'whatever' designer from Manchester. I like to make pretty stuff, try to make clients rich and do a bit of writing.
Day to day I work for an awesome creative web design agency called BLISS. I also wear a range of hats (literally), for no distinct reason.
Thanks for stopping by, if you'd like to learn more follow the links below. And naturally, have a nice day!

A sample of old work, in dire need of an update
Supponor
Supponor specialise in the development of Digital Billboard Replacement technologies for live sports broadcasting. In early 2010 they commissioned Bliss to bring their branding up to date. I was in charge of refreshing their overall corporate image, which included brochure and other various print design and website redesigning.
Vale Holiday Parks
Vale are a chain of holiday parks based in South Wales and Cornwall. I worked with a team on different areas of the design and build of the website and continue to work on improving and expanding it at Bliss. Since the site went live in late 2009 Vale have seen a substantial increase in holiday bookings and caravan sales and, suffice to say, couldn't be happier.
Chain Reaction Coaching
In early 2009 I was approached by Chain Reaction Coaching to create the branding and website for their new life coaching company. I worked closely with Daisy and Julie to put together a visual approach and tone for Chain Reaction that reflected the values of their business.
Innovation Manchester
I headed up the creative and design when Flame Digital pitched for the redevelopment of the Innovation Manchester website in late 2009. Although narrowly loosing the pitch, the process was a great experience and taught me a lot about the different aspects of big agency pitches.
