Hello!
I’m Natalie, or Nat, a multimedia designer now based in the vibrant city of Christchurch, New Zealand. My passion for design spans a range of creative realms, allowing me to stay versatile, curious, and innovative in my approach. Over the years, I’ve built up a broad skill set across graphic design, print publishing, branding, typography, photography, illustration, interior design, video editing, product design, UX/UI, and copywriting, through both professional work and personal projects.
When I’m not immersed in design, you’ll find me outside walking with my husband and our dog Bear, exploring new nature trails or heading off on mountain biking adventures. Some of my favourite experiences include completing Aotearoa’s Great Walks like the Milford, Routeburn, Kepler, Rakiura, and Abel Tasman Tracks, as well as riding iconic MTB trails like Blue Derby in Tasmania and Whistler Bike Park in Canada.
I’m also a devoted animal lover, sharing my life with Bear and two cats. I volunteer with SAFE and the SPCA during their annual street appeals, and support conservation efforts in Remutaka Forest Park.
If you share a love of creativity, the outdoors, 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! 😊
