Bridging Design & Development

I'm Nathan Tisdale, a UX/UI Designer with a technical foundation in software quality assurance. I create accessible, user-centered designs backed by research and usability testing.

Currently pursuing my MA in Graphic and Web Design at MCAD, I specialize in design systems, accessibility (WCAG), and production-ready interfaces.

User Experience (UX) Research

From user interviews to usability testing
App Design

From wireframes to prototypes

UX is more than just a UI

Start Right

Spend time researching user needs and set clear goals. Competitive analysis can highlight where users are not being served. A lot of brainstorming and sketching goes into producing one good plan.

Build Smart

A design system provides the building blocks for creating your web and mobile apps. Build quickly, and maintain consistent branding, with a detailed style guide.

Iterate

Wireframes, low-fidelity prototypes, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes, are not one time tasks. Identifying issues through usability evaluations is a success, not a failure. Embrace continuous improvement.
