We’re a collective of curious, clever, and unusual people who finally found their place.
Our people are our core.
At Nakatomi, job titles come second. We look for smart and creative people with strong skills and rapid learning curves — then shape roles around everything they can do.
Because the truth is, everyone here does more than one thing, and the work is better for it.
This sheer amount of passion, talent, and curiosity is the reason our business works, and how we consistently create at this level of quality.

MEET OUR FOUNDERS
We’ve both been immersed in the tech, creative and business worlds our whole careers. The big take out? They aren’t separate worlds. The people who thrive in each are all relentlessly curious, learn by doing, thrive from sharing their work with the world, and go again when it doesn’t work. It's about having the confidence and conviction to make your ideas real. We’re proud to have a company that gets to do that, daily. We’re incredibly lucky to work with a group of people who know a thing or two about just about everything. It’s why we love the start of companies and new ideas; we’re entrepreneurial people who like to take risks with you and share everything we’ve learnt in our journey.
Every venture we build is shaped directly by our in-house team — strategists, designers, engineers, creatives, and operators working side by side.
