Nate Voss

Nate Voss was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. He took to art at an extremely early age because there was nothing else to do during the early eighties in Nebraska.

He has been a professional designer and illustrator since 2001, working in Omaha. He has also served on the Board of Directors for AIGA Nebraska and is an Adjunct Professor of Design at Metropolitan Community College.

Nate's work has appeared in HOW and STEP Inside Design magazines, the book Fingerprint: The Art of Using Hand-Made Elements in Graphic Design, and around the web from time to time.
