Natalie is an enthusiastic and award-winning designer who sees architecture as a way to uplift the human experience. Her work spans the globe from the United States, Australia and Caribbean to the Middle East and Asia. In her previous roles at S9 Architecture in New York City, Blur Workshop in Atlanta, Arquitectonica in Miami, and Studio Valerius in New York City, she played a pivotal role in concepting and designing a variety of hospitality interior design and architecture projects as well as assisting with schematic design and design development for several mixed-use residential developments.

In order to better understand how architecture enriches everyday life, Natalie has developed a love of travel and is always seeking out new cultural experiences, such as taking drawing courses in Hong Kong. As a testament to her flexibility as a designer, Natalie was most recently instrumental in the design of a market in Chicago, a wellness spa in the Philippines, and a prototype of a new children’s play venue in Atlanta.

Understanding that architecture creates memorable experiences, Natalie continues to test new ways of thinking about and exploring the potential of design. For example, she contemplated the human experience in relation to our future through her work with Ecosystem Architecture and Arup Engineers on a sustainable urbanism project in Australia, where she explored methods of innovative and adaptable living.

Natalie graduated with a Master of Architecture from Savannah College of Art and Design, where her thesis project focused on the use of architecture as a layering of memory and experience and received awards from The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and Contract Magazine.
