I’m Nathan Billman. nnstudio is my independent design practice.
Independent design support for in-house marketing and brand teams — and the agencies that serve them — who need experienced execution without unnecessary back-and-forth.

The practice.
I’ve spent 20+ years designing for B2B organizations across regulated industries — healthcare, fintech, global tech platforms, cybersecurity, logistics, and more. The brands I’ve worked with operate under strict standards, tight timelines, and multi-team stakeholder review. That environment shaped how I work.
What it produced is a practice most designers don’t have.
I build scalable digital systems and long-form marketing content under the same brand standards — from shared UI patterns and interface design to eBooks, reports, presentations, and print materials.
Most teams split that work across multiple vendors. I don’t.
How I work.
Good design support should make projects easier to move forward, not harder to manage.
I ask the right questions early, work collaboratively, and keep the process clear from start to delivery.
Senior-level judgment means understanding what matters upfront, spotting problems before they become revision cycles, and delivering files your team can actually maintain.
Clear communication, reliable execution, and no unnecessary friction.
Small by design.
nnstudio is intentionally focused. I work with a limited number of clients at a time so the work stays responsive, consistent, and directly connected to the person doing it.
You’re not getting handed off. You’re working with me.
Looking for a consistent design partner?
I work directly with a small number of clients at a time so the work stays focused, responsive, and handled by the person you hired.
