Nathan is an accomplished Architect and Senior Project Manager at EskewDumezRipple’s New Orleans studio. With over two decades of design and project leadership experience across the country, Nathan specializes in higher education facilities, institutional master planning, high-rise developments, and complex civic projects. He excels at bridging high-level design theory with the practical craftsmanship of construction delivery.

Throughout his career, Nathan has served as a key project leader on many complex, high-profile projects that have earned major regional, national, and international honors. His philosophy is built on technical precision, creative project workflows, and strong stakeholder alignment. Whether steering a multi-phased campus master plan or guiding high-rise buildings from schematic design through closeout, he ensures every project balances architectural rigor with long-term functional value.

Most recently, Nathan’s attention to detail and ability to manage complexity were key to the successful delivery of Georgia Tech’s 416,500 SF George and Scheller Towers, a LEED Platinum-certified development and the first project to earn Four Georgia Peaches certification.

Nathan earned his degrees with high honors from Princeton University and the University of Virginia. Alongside his career, he has shared his passion for the discipline by teaching design studios and seminars at institutions including Princeton, UVA, Tulane, Kansas State, Parsons, and CUNY.

Outside of architectural practice, Nathan brings the same dedication to his personal passions. He enjoys spending downtime with his family along the beaches of the Gulf Coast. An avid endurance runner, he can often be found logging training miles and running with local clubs.
