About Nathanael

Nate (he/him) has spent about a decade designing identity programs and digital products. As a creative director, founder, and advisor, he leads Tormer — a fully remote studio based in Lagos and Ota. Tormer partners with founders and VCs locally and across the world, to brand, build and shape early ideas into real working products and standout entities.
Nate has built a reputation for being a skilled facilitator — guiding projects to success with his thoughtful approach to design, and keen attention to detail. Beyond his professional work, he remains committed to giving back through his “Spare Time Initiative” — a term he uses to describe the pro bono hours and cash he donates to nonprofit organizations. So far, he has contributed over $25,000 worth of sweat equity to support causes both locally and around the world
To relax and unwind, Nate enjoys reading, listening to music, meditating, having meaningful conversations, making music, writing poetry, or creating art.

 After earning a Diploma in General Arts from Yaba College of technology (Yabatech), Nate spent about a year at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), studying towards a BA Edu in Arts before leaving to focus on his design practice.
