Nathan finds himself drawn to two main sources of inspiration: nature and history. There's so much knowledge and creativity from people all over the world, and design pushes him to seek it out and surround himself with beauty. He loves being immersed in the mountains. He's a hands on learner, and he enjoys building furniture, jewelry, houses, anything that lets him create something real. If you want him at his happiest, put him in an empty space with power tools and unlimited wood for 24 hours. He also loves writing and producing music. For him, it's all connected. The design, building, and creating are simply all different ways of expressing the same thing.
"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes. If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished. But if you invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life"
