Hello, I’m Natasha.


Somewhere—Something began as a personal exploration—
       

        How do the spaces we inhabit—both physical and digital—shape our identities?



For over a decade, I practised as a registered architect, contributing to award-winning projects within several influential design practices. It was work defined by a deep respect for precision, rigour, and the kind of detail that most people wouldn’t notice.

Somewhere between site visits and obsessively detailed drawings, I got hooked on a quieter question—why do some spaces stay with us, while others disappear the moment we leave? I found myself more interested in what spaces say, not just how they’re made. 

That question—annoyingly persistent—took me back to an old university project. I realised I was less interested in buildings as objects, and more in them as stories. Form as feeling. Structure as narrative. Aesthetic choices as subtle acts of identity.

With a self-directed shift in focus towards branding and visual identity, learning graphic and web design along the way, these days, I mostly engage with individuals and small businesses, helping them articulate their narratives. 

While I often work independently, each project is collaborative—shaped by different minds, hands, and perspectives. I tap into my network of trusted specialists and creatives to bring the right expertise to the project team when needed.

Design, for me, is an ongoing conversation—a means to understand and express the evolving nature of identity in our interconnected world.


Through Somewhere—Something, I help individuals and small businesses shape their brand stories and visual identities.
