Nate Llewellyn

Designer & Product Leader For Learning & Work Tech

I combine design, strategy, and the science of learning to create tech and learning experiences for the 21st century learner and worker. I’m seeking to join a company that is creating a better world for young learners or underserved workers.

When I discovered V School students struggling with scattered learning resources, I led my team in a transformation that unified the learner's digital experience. Through strategic planning and iterative improvements, 84% of surveyed students indicate the new portal helped them to better discover and access learning resources.

Literal was created to develop a new generation of engaged readers. While teenagers spend hours on their phones but minutes reading books, Literal aimed to change this by creating a reading platform that felt as natural as texting. When students couldn't find familiar titles in our library, they stopped looking for alternatives. The solution? Leverage AI technology to connect students with thousands of great books in our existing library.

Collaborating with V School's education leadership team, we tackled post-online transition challenges using the Product Kata. Through clearer expectations and improved progress tracking, we collectively cut course completion times by 50%, enhancing student success.

[Nate was] the catalyst to help me and the entire [Emmersion] leadership team do the hard work of becoming more clear on our specific objectives and targets, and how we plan to achieve them. He [was] consistently the biggest force for enacting our strategy of "Customer Obsession"…

Nate consistently went out of his way to support my growth and development. He taught me how to thoughtfully approach the process of developing a learning course, from identifying users and learning objectives to defining clear learning outcomes.

Laney Kawaguchi -
Director of Student Work Experience, V School

Nate consistently demonstrated remarkable expertise in educational innovation, always seeking ways to improve our existing resources and support team growth…His guidance was instrumental in my professional growth, making Nate not just a director, but a true educational leader who inspires and empowers those around him.

When we talk about the value of grit, we often dismiss its cost. Grit is uncomfortable; it chafes; it blisters; it exhausts. It's hard to display on your own; it's even harder to display in a highly collaborative effort when it's easier to relent and appease. I'm confident that without Nate's grit the polish of the [Emmersion] rebrand wouldn't have the same shine.
