From a young age, Natalie learned the value of being a creative problem solver. The daughter of immigrants and entrepreneurs, she became especially resourceful when it came to her older sister’s hand-me-down clothes, and second hand items. It’s what led to a love of up-cycling and re-selling.

A few years into business school, she took a job opportunity and held many roles while finding her niche and raising a family.

In 2018, while freelancing in commercial modeling and acting in Southern Oregon, Natalie founded a seasonal women’s clothing exchange, Swap Don’t Shop, with around 200 attendees every event. In 2022 an opportunity with a professional agency gave her more modeling opportunities, and first hand experience styling test shoots with agency recommended photographers in Seattle, LA, and NY.

Natalie’s portfolio is ever evolving through work with personal styling, model test shoots, film sets, wardrobe styling for film and music videos,and more, with a focus on aesthetically driven storytelling.
