Nathan Rohde is a multidisciplinary creative and frontend engineer with 11 years of professional experience blending illustration, narrative art, and web development from Seattle. As a freelance artist and comic creator he manages projects end-to-end—storyboarding, character design, illustration, and digital finishing—while his engineering work modernizes legacy frontends into React/Vue and enforces accessibility standards. He has shipped interactive typeahead and map-driven features for enterprise clients like Seagate and Chico’s, and built custom booking widgets and location maps for fast-moving production sites. Comfortable working across HTML/CSS/LESS, JavaScript (including ECMA5/React), Ruby/Rails, and Adobe/Illustrator toolchains, he brings a practical eye for design-driven UX in high-technical-debt environments. An uncommonly productive artist-developer, he pairs high-tempo caricature skills with disciplined code hygiene and WCAG-compliant interfaces.
