About
Me
Nathaniel Axios (aka NAx)
My design philosophy revolves around a loop of continuous mapping, measuring, and making. Mapping grasps a business's current and aspirational states. Measuring aids in assessing performance and quality for both the ecosystem and users. Making is based on these insights to drive innovation, improve quality, and gain new insights. This loop shapes our prototypes, reducing risk, increasing efficiency, and enabling us to pivot when necessary.
