Nate Williams Creative — Seattle, Washington, USA

What mistakes or traps should young designers try to avoid when creating an illustration? “It really depends what their objective is. I think you must pursue what you enjoy and you will attract people and clients that appreciate what you do. As my grandfather said: ‘Don’t get good at something you don’t want to do’.”

Nate Williams creates illustrations and hand-lettering for magazines, books, packaging, advertising, products and more. After living in South and Central America for a decade, he relocated with his family to the United States.
