Hello,

I'm Nat, a UX and Product Designer based in Bristol, UK

I have 15+ years of experience in digital design (specialising in UX for the last 8 of those), and have worked both in-house and agency side for businesses ranging from large corporations to small start-ups.

 

I have a love for working end-to-end to create and deliver user-centred product designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

 

I am happy to work remotely or in-office when required, and I am available for contracts.

Testimonials

Kate Astall, eCommerce, Digital Marketing & CX lead - ASSA ABLOY group 

"Nat is a great problem solver and manages to put herself in the shoes of the customer whilst balancing the needs of the overall business objectives. She is super collaborative, a great listener and best of all understands the development cycle, meaning she designs solutions that work practically. This is especially important when working with internal digital teams such as developers and third parties when you need to quickly prototype viable solutions. She is also passionate about building solutions accessible for all audiences".

Simon Parker, Managing Director - Punk Couplings

"Natalie didn't bat and eyelid at what to me seemed like quite a daunting task, given my background as a mechanic!

 

She took on the role with gusto, and moved quicker than I was quite ready for!
Natalie saw my confusion around creating a brief and recruiting the right people for the job -  and effectively changed her role from 'advisor' to 'manager', whilst still taking the time to patiently, and often repeatedly, explain everything carefully to me.

 

She brought in specialists from her contacts and quickly built a small but very effective team of coders, graphic designers and marketers while performing an extra copywriting role herself (in addition to managing others, including me!)


I cannot recommend Natalie enough,".
