Creative/Art Director based in Melbourne
Nathan is a Bangkok-born, Melbourne-brewed creative and visual thinker.
The rebellious one in a traditional Asian family, he chose to make ads instead of becoming a doctor. Now based in Melbourne, he tackles every creative brief Australia has to offer.
He’s had the chance to work at top agencies like ClemengerBBDO, VML, HERO, and Saatchi&Saatchi, partnering with clients across sectors from FMCG brand and automotive brand to federal government.
Outside the 9–5, Nathan is a martial artist, a passionate home cook,
and a proud cat dad.
He’s also teamed up with copywriter Ben Hall as a freelance creative duo — check out their work here.
