“From 2012 to 2020, Nathan diligently and professionally served as a graphic designer for the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. We appreciated Nathan building relationships with our site and staff to better understand our project needs. Reliable under tight timelines, he successfully produced numerous graphic (print and digital) and exhibit deliverables that were responsive to our needs.”
“It has been my privilege to work with Nathan on many Reynolds projects over the past 10 years. As part of our team, we count on Nathan for honest and insightful input, and have implemented many of his creative solutions, with great success.
Nathan listens to, and understands, our goals and objectives in each unique project, is sensitive to the museum’s audiences, and creates beautiful and effective visual messages that reflect our identity.”
