Within four months, the course teacher had noticed his talent and recommended him to a local advertising agency, and he left TAFE for a part-time job at Red Jelly as a finished-artist and frontend developer. Within a week, this became a full-time position, and Nathan worked on projects for high-profile clients, including Woolworths, BWS, Dan Murphy’s and Big W. Nathan became a pivotal part of the
Red Jelly Retail Design Team, and in 2014 was selected to join the Digital Team as a Designer. As part of the Digital Team, he participated in the industry-recognised AWARD School course. Nathan was the Tasmanian state winner of AWARD School in 2015, catapulting him into the spotlight for advertising agencies nationwide. Following his AWARD School win, Nathan pushed to take on more creative responsibility at Red Jelly, and was rewarded with a position on the Ideas Team, being directly mentored by Red Jelly’s Creative Director. In early 2016, at only 21 years old, Nathan was headhunted by James Cuda, CEO and Co-Founder of Savage Interactive, the Tasmanian-based creators of the internationally award winning iPad illustration software Procreate. Nathan now puts his creative drive to use as an Art Director, Designer & Front-End Developer all as an essential part of the Savage team.
