Hello,
Thanks for visiting.
Natalie (or Nat) here, a multimedia graphic designer based in Wellington, New Zealand. I love all aspects of design and like to consider myself as versatile in my creative capabilities. Through work and personal experience, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge covering a vast range of design disciplines. I have experience in graphic design, print publishing, editorial, branding, typography, photography, illustration, interior design, video-editing, product, web and digital design (to name a few).
When I’m not busy creating things, I love to be outdoors. I spend every opportunity walking and mountain biking around Wellington (and New Zealand) with my black Labrador, Bear and of course, my husband, Liam. I’ve been really privileged to have experienced a few of New Zealand’s Great Walks, my favourite one so far being the Milford Track. I love to travel outside of New Zealand and experience new things, cultures and gain different perspectives. There is a big world to explore out there, and I look forward to seeing as much as I can in my lifetime.
I am a true animal lover, with a tribe of three cats and my dog, Bear. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. My passion for helping animals spills into my volunteering ventures for SAFE and the SPCA when they do their annual street appeals, and Remutaka Forest Park with design work and a trap line in the Orongorongo valley. Doing my part to preserve New Zealand’s native flora and fauna has always been important to me. I also love native birds, which is demonstrated in my work on this site.
If you want to get in touch about a one-off project, a personal commission or just to chat, I would love to hear from you. I am always open to meeting new people, trying new things, expanding my knowledge and getting feedback from others about how I can improve and progress as a young creative.
Feel free to get in touch 😊
