KEEPING IT REEL
About
I’m Nathon Sims. A former Marine turned motion designer turned Art Director and creative leader. There’s a strategic streak in everything I do, a soft spot for nerdy things, and, at any given moment, an unhealthy number of browser tabs open.
Before I was building content ecosystems and leading cross-channel creative programs, I was a Marine Corps Sergeant deployed in Ramadi, Iraq, googling art schools from a dusty internet shack. That moment, part escape plan and part epiphany, launched a career where curiosity became the engine and storytelling the outcome.
Today, this studio is how that story scales. I guide creative from the ground up. Not just single assets, but connected content systems with purpose. Product launches, campaign architecture, multi-part narratives with three personas, six videos, and fifteen rounds of stakeholder feedback. Bonus points if there’s a lore doc.
The work lives at the intersection of storytelling and strategy. Video, motion, and post wrapped in structure, soul, and just the right amount of nerd. It's not about making things that just look good. It's about making content that works. For your audience. For your goals. For your brand.
When I’m not leading a team or turning marketing chaos into clarity, I’m probably overanalyzing Dune, shuffling a Commander deck, or explaining why Sinners is perfect, modern cinema.
Creative that connects. Stories with structure. Built like a system. Told like a saga.
