Hi! I’m Nate Hooper.
I’m a California based creative director exploring the crossroads of culture and design. Over the past 15 years I’ve been called an art director, a design director, a brand director, and having run two contemporary art spaces, a gallery director.
I work with brands big and small, overseeing teams or wearing all the hats myself. Whatever the task, I believe research and collaboration are what help tell the best and most authentic story.
These days, I’m a lead designer on the Global Collaborations team at Levi’s®. I’ve had the pleasure of leading projects with brands such as Stussy, New Balance, Jjjjound, Crocs, Studio Ghibli, Reese Cooper, Universal Pictures, and many more during the last few years here.
I spend my spare time on a never ending search for reference material for Slurricane, contributing to and art directing Mixtapeth, and living in the woods North of San Francisco with my wife Natalie, our two kids and our dog Piper.
