About
My name is Natalie and I’ve been a freelance designer for the last 7 years. I am very much an all-round creative, working mainly in graphic design and illustration, however I also (rather randomly) hand-paint wedding cakes for a living. I'm a traditionalist at heart and love nothing more than working simply with pen and paper. My passion and specialism lies within the food, drink and hospitality industry, and I'm lucky enough to have created some beautiful illustrations for a large pub chain in the UK.
