Hi, I'm Nathan Gao, an Experience Design Lead in NYC. Just designing for very complicated problems and, instead of dressing them up, making them disappear in ways that others couldn't even imagine.
During my off time though, I'm a constant advisor, and spend a lot of time thinking about the nature of systems. I'm a huge music fan, and I both play and critique and video games (especially with interesting, emergent systems design and maybe giant robots).
I'm a big fan of good standup comedy and urban dancing but also casually study engineering and filmmaking principles, and dining, all from all over the world. Currently, I'm getting back to weight lifting and really need to do more cardio (who doesn't, right?)
As a fun fact, I have Number Form Synesthesia.
I continue to design for complex products and processes, clarifying the obscure and unknown. Are you facing messy problems? Come say hi.
