work.
about.
Welcome. I’m Natalie, a curious and passionate creative director
with 15+ years of experience working with Detroit's best ad agencies on
some of the world's top brands. Helping brands tell their story and allowing
them to have a deeper connection with consumers is what gets me excited.
I’m an idea-finding, story-telling, art-directing, easy-going, client-facing,
trend-watching,never-settling type of creative. I create and guide my work
in a strategic way that not only makes it interesting and beautiful but actually
moves the needle on the business in a positive way. That work might be an ad,
a social partnership, a new brand identity, or even a line of greeting cards.
For me, it’s about finding a creative and effective way to solve a real problem.
