I'm Natasha Macalintal, a hybrid, innovative interior designer focused on human-centered spaces that blend functionality, storytelling, and wellbeing. I design residential, commercial, and branded environments, turning concepts into cohesive solutions that uphold brand integrity, support operational efficiency, and foster emotional resonance in every space. I bring hands-on experience with AutoCAD, 3D modelling on SketchUp and Enscape, and construction documentation, collaborating with agents, contractors, and cross-functional teams to deliver project outcomes on time and within budget. My wellness-focused design approach draws on Feng Shui and the WELL Building Standard, and I’ve led client experiences, events, and brand-building efforts that grew my business and strengthened community connections. Earlier in my career, I led a 40+ person Apple Genius Bar team, delivering outstanding service and shaping cross-functional collaboration. I’ve collaborated on renovations and design projects that emphasize hygiene, durability, and comfort, including a $465K commercial medical facility renovation with improved coordination between trades. I also maintain end-to-end documentation, procurement coordination, and on-site styling to align with functional and aesthetic goals. My background includes leadership roles at Apple and a strong focus on wellness-centred strategies that enhance focus, creativity, and resilience in teams and spaces.
