Creative Direction & Cultural Strategy

Hand To Mouse is independent creative direction and cultural strategy from Sydney. I work with startups, creative agencies, and cultural organizations to create digital experiences that are meaningful, strategic, and built to resonate.

I bridge the gap between vision and execution. Whether you need strategic direction for a cultural project, brand positioning for a startup, or end-to-end creative leadership for a digital experience—I bring both the strategic thinking and the ability to see it through.

About Nate Don

I'm Nate Don, an independent creative director and cultural strategist based in Sydney. I help startups, agencies, and cultural organizations create digital experiences that are meaningful, strategic, and built to resonate with their audiences.

My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I don't just develop the creative vision—I see it through to reality. Whether that's crafting brand positioning for a new startup, directing a cultural initiative for a museum, or leading the digital strategy for a creative agency's client, I bring both the creative direction and the technical capability to make it happen.

I believe great work comes from deep understanding: understanding your mission, your audience, and the cultural context you're operating in. That's why every project starts with listening, research, and collaborative discovery before moving into strategy and execution.

The Approach

Every project starts with deep understanding. What story are we telling? Who needs to hear it? What cultural context matters? From there, I develop strategic direction that connects your mission with your audience, and create experiences that bring that strategy to life.

I specialize in cultural strategy, narrative development, and experience design. Whether you're a museum launching a digital initiative, a startup defining your brand positioning, or an agency needing creative direction for a client project—I work collaboratively to create work that matters.

Who I Work With

• Startups & founders who need strategic creative direction and brand positioning
• Creative agencies seeking specialized cultural strategy and creative direction
• Cultural organizations (museums, galleries, festivals, arts groups) developing digital initiatives
• Mission-driven brands looking to connect authentically with their communities
