FAT HIPPO DESIGN GROUP - Key Persons


Nathan Shearing

Nathan grew up in Southland NZ, and was formally trained in Engineering, and Architecture locally before heading to Auckland to follow his passions of Design and Sailing. As the work and sailing expanded to locations in Asia he developed an interest in travel. This lead to a one year trip around the world that lasted 4 years based mainly in Ireland with a great deal of travel. Nathan returned to NZ in 2001 with his Irish wife, Jennifer and first worked as partner in an Engineering and Architectural office for 5 years, before setting up the Fat Hippo Design Group Ltd with Martin in 2006.
