A little bit about me…

Hello, my name is Natalie and I draw, write and design. I went to university and graduated with an honours degree in graphic design and an illustration award from the Melbourne Art Directors Club.
I spent many years designing corporate identities and annual reports but then I changed direction... now I draw all day and create books and products for kids to enjoy - and that is an
​awesome job!

My books have been published both locally and internationally by a range of publishers including Caterpillar, Silver Dolphin, Simon & Schuster, Scholastic US, Little Brown, SmartInk Books, Cottage Door Press, Little Bee, Langue Au Chat, Helium, Lake Press, Hardie Grant and ARS Editions. My illustrations have licensed to Hallmark, American Greetings and Papyrus. I have also illustrated some fun products for Mudpuppy, Djeco and Kidstuff. I also illustrate and design for my Little Red Owl and AUSTRALIA greeting card ranges. Over the last few years I have illustrated all the titles in the very cute bestselling 'You're My Little' series of books published by Silver Dolphin.

Here are a few of the titles I have illustrated, and I wrote some of them too:

- You're My Little Cuddle Bug
- You're My Little Pumpkin Pie
- You're My Little Snuggle Bear
- You're My Little Honey Bunny
- You're My Little Christmas Wish
- You're My Little Lucky Charm
- You're My Little Firecracker
- You're My Little Bookworm
- You're My Little Latke
- Millie-Mae Loves To Play
- Millie-Mae Through The Seasons
- Find & Feel 1,2,3 Bumblebee
- Find & Feel Orange Tiger

 I live near the beach with my bike-loving husband and my two busy children but I have also lived and worked in New York and London. I need coffee in the mornings. I love blue nail polish, riding my bike, swimming, running and eating any food that I did not have to cook... and I have an Australian Koolie called Obi Wan who likes to run fast and bark loudly.

I am a member of the wonderful Illustrators Australia.
