My name is Nathan McDonald, and I’m a creative consultant who specializes in brand strategy and design. With extensive experience as an in-house creative director in both commercial and nonprofit settings, I firmly believe that an organization's most valuable marketing assets are its customers and employees. This conviction drives my focus: to nurture engagement with those you serve through a holistic brand experience that enriches their lives. When this happens, you build a community of enthusiastic brand advocates—externally and internally—who naturally amplify your marketing efforts and grow your business. If you’d like to explore the benefits of a brand engagement with me, please reach out. I look forward to meeting you.

It is my pleasure to give Nathan and Team a 5 Star review for the work they did for us. The results of the project far exceeded our Teams expectations. Through their Story Branding work, they were able to capture who we are as a company and what is important to us. Nathan and his team were thorough, intuitive and easy to work with, and they captured the very essence of our company and message. Patti Thayer Geissler, President Thayer Energy Solutions
