Hello!
I’m Natalie, or Nat, a multimedia designer based in the vibrant city of Wellington, New Zealand. My passion for design spans various creative realms, allowing me to be versatile and innovative in my approach. With a journey that includes graphic design, print publishing, branding, typography, photography, illustration, interior design, video editing, product design, UX/UI, and copywriting, I’ve cultivated a wealth of knowledge across diverse design disciplines through both professional projects and personal endeavours.
When I'm not immersed in design, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors. Whether on foot or mountain bike, I love discovering New Zealand and beyond with my loyal black Labrador, Bear, and my husband, Liam. Some of my most cherished adventures include hiking New Zealand’s Great Walks, especially the Milford Track, as well as mountain biking at iconic spots like Blue Derby in Tasmania and Whistler Bike Park in Canada. As an avid traveler, I relish the opportunity to experience new cultures and gain fresh perspectives. The world is vast, and I’m eager to explore as much of it as I can.
I’m also a devoted animal lover, sharing my life with two cats and Bear. My commitment to animal welfare includes volunteering with SAFE and the SPCA during their annual street appeals, as well as contributing to conservation efforts in Remutaka Forest Park.
If you share a passion for creativity or animals, or if you simply want to connect, I’d love to hear from you! Whether it’s a one-off project, a personal commission, or just a friendly chat, I thrive on meeting new people and embracing fresh experiences.
Feel free to reach out anytime! 😊
