About Nautilus Creative LLC
Nautilus Creative is the Maine-based creative practice of Xander Sanborn, an art director working across brand, campaign, and motion. I help companies figure out what to say and how to look saying it, then build the assets that put it into the world: brand identity and design systems, creative strategy and campaign concepts, motion graphics and video, and web design. I pair traditional art direction with AI-assisted production, giving small teams a wider creative range and faster turnaround than a single designer typically offers.
I specialize in early-stage Maine startups that don't yet have an in-house creative team. Recent work includes creative strategy and brand direction for Defendify, a Portland cybersecurity company, and a repeatable case study design system for Purpose & Proof, a Portland marketing consultancy. Everything I build is designed as a system clients can keep using, not a one-off deliverable.
