She later deepened her expertise with a post-graduate Certificate in Creative Pattern Cutting from the London College of Fashion in the UK.
Working from her studio at cSpace King Edward, Natalie combines clean lines, detailed mark-making, and silkscreen printing to create textiles that are both functional and artful.
