Thai given name: ณัฐนันท์ วัชรปรีชาสกุล — Nuttanun Vacharaprechasakul
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 privilege of working at top-tier agencies, including the globally renowned Clemenger BBDO, and has collaborated with nearly every major client in the country. His expertise spans all kinds of creative campaigns — from national TVCs to billboards at the MCG.
Outside the 9–5, Nathan is a martial artist, a passionate home cook, an AI enthusiast—and a proud cat dad.
As a creative human, he’s not perfect — his Thai politeness sometimes makes him seem too nice, and his accent occasionally slips through. But he brings heart, curiosity, and global experience to everything he does.
He’s also teamed up with copywriter Ben Hall as a freelance creative duo — check out their work here.
