About Nathaniel Kerksick
I like the process of invention and advancing outcomes that improve our lives. I was the founding designer at Change.org where I built a talented team, and grew a global platform that would see a campaign victory every hour. I also grew the Social Impact design team at Facebook across 5 product teams. I helped Dropbox go from a file sync company to one that helps teams stay in sync. Created Obama’s 2008 online ads in Chicago, ran a product & brand studio in Brooklyn, and art directed with Ogilvy Paris. Lived in nine cities across four countries and today live in Venice, LA. I have a degree in Interactive Art Direction from Hyper Island in Sweden and taught Civic Design at California College for the Arts.
