Nathaniel Smith

UX Designer with 4 years of experience creating intuitive digital experiences for education technology serving 1.85M+ users globally. Passionate about designing tools that empower professionals doing meaningful work—educators, healthcare providers, and others dedicated to serving their communities.

Core Strengths:

• Research-driven design approach with expertise in usability testing and behavioral analysis

• Enterprise platform design with strong focus on accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance ensuring equitable access)

• Cross-functional collaboration in agile environments

• AI-powered workflow optimization enabling more time for human-centered iteration

• Design systems development for scalable, consistent user experiences

What I'm Looking For: Opportunities to design mission-driven products that make a tangible difference in people's lives. Particularly drawn to healthcare technology, educational tools, civic tech, sustainability platforms, or social impact ventures where thoughtful design directly improves outcomes for underserved communities or professionals doing essential work.

Why Mission-Driven Work Matters to Me: My 7 years as an educator taught me that the best professional tools fade into the background, allowing users to focus on their mission rather than fighting their software. I'm committed to designing accessible, intuitive interfaces that amplify the impact of organizations working toward equity, health, education, and social good.
