Welcome to Creatively Opposed, a podcast where we hear real life stories from first-generation creatives about their journeys.

I'm your host Teneka King, and in today's episode I am joined by Nate Nichols. He is the founder and Creative Director of the creative agency Palette Group and has worked with brands like Netflix, Footlocker, Puma, Xbox, and many more.

In this episode we discuss Nate's upbringing as a first-generation Jamaican-Haitian American in Connecticut, navigating cultural identities, and discovering his passion for creativity at a young age. He shares the highs and lows of his creative turned entrepreneurial journey, going from freelancer to agency founder, and why his experiences led him to create safe spaces for creatives that prioritizes inclusivity and authentic self-expression.
