Andrew Michael Nathan
Product & Branding Designer, Artist. Founder, Product and UX Lead at Simple Use Software.
Fort Lauderdale, FL. Working remotely. Open to full-time remote roles in product design and AI-assisted prototyping.
Summary
I turn ideas into products, websites and brands that people can use. I produce working software with AI coding tools like Claude Code & Codex Agent to write, review and edit the code. Since 2009 I have designed websites and brands for clinics, schools, law firms and retailers, and since 2024 my own products: an EU AI Act readiness app with a voice interview, a software studio with a six-volume design and writing standard, a website audit tool, and an online gallery for my paintings.
