I’m Natalie
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved making things pretty and thoughtful. My love for events began over ten years ago while working at a family-owned flower shop where I designed arrangements for a variety of events. There, I mastered the art of floral design, and gained an appreciation for keeping up with trends.
While in school, I took that love for design and merged it with business courses that would help me become the best event manager I could be. Many opportunities later, I’ve learned SO much. From working with brands, conceptualizing sponsored content, to building events from start to finish, I’ve handled it all.
When I’m not scrolling through Pinterest and creating mood boards (sometimes just for fun) I’m a huge craft beer lover. On the weekends you can find me exploring local breweries and growing veggies in my garden!
