My Mission

My name is Nate Bauer, and I’m trying to fix the American healthcare system.

Like many of us, I have a story of someone who was forced to prioritize finances over health and are no longer with us as a consequence. 

My mission is to prioritize health over cost by making affordable healthcare accessible to everyone.

Mentoring Designers Every Friday

Every Friday from 11am–1pm PST I host Feedback Friday — a live, two-hour session where we review portfolios and resumes in front of an audience. It’s an open, honest, and collaborative space to help designers level up their craft.

If you would like to attend, feel free to join the Design Buddies Discord channel.

If you would like to watch our past streams, take a look at the Design Shaped youtube channel (and feel free to subscribe).

My Design Principles

Good principles have sacrifices. They prioritize certain benefits over others, build constraints into one’s workflow, and act as a guide toward performance and efficiency.


Below are four principles that guide my product design and team leadership.

Design is 90% Communication

Communication is the most important skillset in product design. This includes team facilitation, persuasive storytelling, and stakeholder management.

Outcomes Over Output

Customer behavior is the most important metric for determining business success. Solving problems begins by prioritizing outcomes, not features.

Infinite Mindset

Adopting a purpose-driven approach and playing for the long term is a more effective method of product development than short-term approaches like ‘beating the competition’.

80% Is Good Enough

Reaching 80% of a goal is usually good enough. The time it would take to get to 100% satisfaction is usually better spent making progress elsewhere.
