Available to hire
Hi, I’m Nathalie Ando—a graphic designer and yoga instructor with expertise in layout, illustration, and digital production. I design and lay out books, e-books, and activity journals for kids of all ages; I create illustrations to promote events for teenagers; and I build and maintain WordPress websites.
From 2014 to 2023 I served as Program Development Director & Graphic Designer at yogaville.org, where I planned workshops and teacher trainings, managed calendars and data, and led multiple departments. I helped transition in-person courses to online platforms during the pandemic, built trusted relationships, and produced marketing materials from concept through publication, including a biannual 64-page catalog, brochures, posters, signage, banners, and flyers.
