About

Hi, I'm Natalie!

I'm an industrial designer focused on creating thoughtful, intuitive, and emotionally resonant products and experiences. My work blends research and strategic thinking to uncover meaningful opportunities and translate them into intentional design solutions.

I'm most passionate about furniture, lighting, home goods, and softgoods—spaces where people physically and emotionally interact with products every day. Material curiosity is a big part of my process, and I’m especially interested in tactile experiences and the relationship between soft and hard forms.

At my core, I’m a lifelong learner with a hands-on approach to making. After hours, I spend my time learning and practicing new skills like sewing, knitting, crocheting, and experimenting with upholstery techniques. If I design something, I want to understand how it’s made and see it come to life.
