Nathan Hines
I like to design usable products, and build scalable systems.
ME
I hate writing about myself.
I live in LA, but am from the East Coast.
I am getting my Masters in HCI at Iowa State.
I enjoyed building this website in Webflow.
WORK
6+ years of design experience, 4 on product teams.
Any tool can be learned, but I like Figma, Webflow, Zapier, Xano. Low-code.
Principals
Nothing beats talking and listening to users in their environment.
Understanding the problem is half the battle.
Every idea has value, but for it to be truly effective, it must be measurable.
All feedback is good feedback.
A good product adapts to how users want to use it.
To be a good mentor is to help connect the work to the business outcomes.
The greatest lessons often come from failure.
GOALS
Design a product that is used by over a million people.
Contribute to the evolution of the Human-AI interaction field.
