Hi! I’m Natalie Velarde (she/her)!
I started this journey back in 2015 when I helped run a local record label and ended up initially teaching myself how to use Illustrator and Photoshop to create fliers for upcoming shows.
Since then, I’ve gotten a few college degrees and have honed my skills with about 8 years of industry experience (I’ve worked with DC Shoes, Roxy, Loungefly, Unique Vintage, and Mad Engine*).
As someone who is a big fan of this beautiful world we live on, I’m an advocate for sustainability. I always try to keep my knowledge on these issues up to date and, if given the opportunity, love to help each company I work with leave some smaller footprints.
*Mad Engine develops a variety of licensed and original apparel and accessories for Target, Hot Topic, Box Lunch, Disney Parks, Spencers, Ross, Walmart, TJ Maxx, etc…
