Hi! My name's Natalie, but everyone calls me Nat.
Hi! My name’s Natalie, but everyone calls me Nat.
I’m a fresh graduate of OCADU with a Bachelor of Design. I have a great eye for design and a steady hand when creating visually striking illustrations.
I am passionate about applying my skills in visual arts, color theory, and both digital and traditional media. I’m experienced in using Adobe Creative Suite and eager to contribute creatively to new opportunities. As well thanks to my many years in customer service I am great when working with and interacting with clients and with a team.
I’ve worked on a range of projects from graphic novel editing to custom commissions involving digital and acrylic paintings and logo design. I also have hands-on experience with printmaking and display assembly, and I’m always excited to bring unique artistic visions to life.
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with graphic novel authors/illustrators through freelancing, where I was able to assist them on the novels with those tedious time consuming tasks.

Digital Thesis
“Amensalism” OCADU Thesis Work
Photoshop and Procreate pieces for my thesis project at OCAD University. This series depicts endangered and threatened species adapting to their new human-made threats by integrating that same threat into their biology. I printed and designed my own display as well as setup and crafted interactive and fun additions to the prints to make it more eye catching and unique.
I was able to utilize my photoshop, printing and crafting skills to create a thesis for the graduation show where I was able to make connections with other amazing illustrators and artists.
