About

Hi, I'm Nat!

I currently work at ShowFab (formerly known as Showman Fabricators) at their 100,000 square-foot facility in Fairfield New Jersey. I am a key member of our graphics team, responsible for expanding our departments’ capabilities and incorperating emerging technologies. In this role, I operate our Massivit 5000 3D Printer, swissqprint Flatbed UV Printer, and Gerber (Lectra) Versatech MCT Laser-Router-Cutter combo Machine. I consider myself a general fabricator, with a specialty for non-traditional materials and emerging digital methods. 

My former experiences include Exhibit Carpenter for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, as well as a Props Fabricator for Bond's Escape Room in the DC and Virginia area. I have a passion for research, details, and seeing a project through to its fullest potential. 

My strong variety of skills include: mold making and casting, digital drafting through programs like AutoCAD and Revit, proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, upholstery, carpentry, and scenic and venue-specific painting.

I'm a graduate of The University of North Carolina School of the Arts. With a BFA in Design and Production with a concentration in Stage Properties. While at UNCSA I took many additional courses in technical drawing, with active industry professionals in Scenic Arts, Technical Design, and Costume Technology.

While at UNCSA I have served as secretary of the Themed Entertainment Association Club - Through TEA NextGen 

In my spare time, I enjoy sci-fi, history, and my beagles. 

What has Nat been up to?
