Nathan Dean

With a background in architecture, design, and construction, Nathan enjoys working at the intersection of design, visual communication, and real world building. He uses architectural visualization and clear design communication to help ideas resolve into buildable form. With over 25 years of experience designing and building custom homes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, he brings a thoughtful, hands-on perspective shaped by both creative and practical experience.

His work centers on using architectural visualization and clear design communication as practical design tools. Whether supporting collaborators or leading residential design efforts, he helps homeowners, architects, builders, and developers better understand space, proportion, materiality, and intent early in the process. Through thoughtful drawings and carefully crafted visuals, Nathan helps turn concepts into coordinated, well resolved solutions.

Grounded in residential experience, Nathan values clarity, restraint, and collaboration. He believes strong visual communication leads to better decisions, smoother coordination, and projects that translate more successfully from concept to construction.
