Meet Web Designer Nat Couropmitree
Nat Couropmitree is the founder of Heartfelt Business Media and the principal designer. As a teenager, he had aspirations of becoming an architect. He was fascinated by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright and has always been drawn to clean, modern design. While he ultimately never pursued that path, that influence has found its expression through website design. He taught himself to design sites for his earlier entrepreneurial ventures and has been creating sites for customers since 2009.
Besides his interest in design and technology, Nat has also served as a life coach for 15 years. Through life coaching, Nat has grown to be a great listener which helps him as a designer to be in tune with what his clients want and need. Clients have often expressed that they see Nat as a partner in their business, rather than just a guy doing a job for them.
Beyond web design, Nat enjoys traveling the world, taking pictures of nature, dancing the Argentine Tango, and spending time with family, especially his 2 year old grandson.
