Nate is a top tier Mentor! I appreciate him so much! I love how committed he is to helping Junior Designers, and the system he's built to do so, from incredibly helpful and thoughtful resources like a Positioning Generator, to a wealth of written and video resources breaking down Design! He even helped me take notes during our session! His Resume and Portfolio advice was incredibly invaluable! I'd be more than grateful to book another session with him again!
