Summary
Nate Listrom is a seasoned designer based in Raleigh with over a decade of professional experience spanning product, web, branding, illustration, and print. He progressed through multiple roles at Microsoft to Principal Designer, bringing enterprise-scale UX practice together with hands-on craft from his independent design consulting. Rooted in a BFA in Visual Communications from Virginia Tech, Nate blends traditional illustration sensibilities with HTML/CSS fluency dating back to 2003, enabling tight collaboration between design and front-end implementation. He’s equally comfortable directing on-screen media for live events and shaping logos and campaigns, and he brings a curious, reader-writer’s perspective that informs thoughtful, narrative-driven design. Not obvious from titles alone: he mentors teams and interns and treats coffee, travel, and conversation as creative inputs that fuel his work.
