Description

Hi, I'm Nat — a designer exploring different corners of the world for the previous 10 years. I am an enthusiastic and creative person who has quite a lot of pitta energy, but also a calm, empathetic side.

My particular passions are yoga, art, seasonal healthy cooking, self development, photography, sustainability, and being outdoors. My heart lies in the ocean (swim, surf and all the beautiful sea creatures). Currently I have also become a bit obsessed with ecstatic dance.

I am organised in the work I do, personally and professionally.

Community is really important to me, and I think so much beauty can be made when we gather and focus on the collective. I am a social bee and have co-lived with others for years. You could find me often in the kitchen cooking up a hearty dinner to bring people together!

Creativity is at the centre of most of my endeavours, from helping people tell their stories through visual communications, to spontaneous life drawing or food workshops with friends. I am a conceptual thinker who likes to solve problems and collaborate in doing so.

What really drives me in life though is to help the state of the environment and all living beings. I have a strong sense of social justice and connection to nature, which makes standing up for climate and other world issues issues a no-brainer for me. I strive to incorporate sustainability into my everyday life and also art projects and practice as a designer, and share this knowledge with others.

Overall, I'm pretty easy going, adaptable and always up for an adventure!
