Hello, I’m Natasha.
Through Somewhere—Something, I help individuals and small businesses shape their brand stories and visual identities.
Although this is a one-person operation (most of the time), let’s roll with “we” for simplicity. I’ll be using this space to speak directly in any case.
With a background in architecture and music, my interest in identity, culture, and brand environments started while at university and has been an ongoing area of exploration.
With over ten years as a registered architect crafting spatial environments, I have worked with creative organisations and individuals both independently and with several influential design practices on award-winning projects.
My training as a creative mediator helped me develop and refine a design approach that brings together emotional currency with practical knowledge, which now shows up in the brand, identity and web design work I do.
I started Somewhere—Something in 2020 in an attempt to better understand how we live, the blurred lines between physical and digital spaces, and how this shapes both our personal and collective identities. As a new parent, I wanted more flexibility in my workday to spend time with my family—because, honestly, time is everything.
Operating from a perspective at the edge of architectural practice, I am interested in ways of living. As a self-taught graphic and web designer, I aim to express the unique subtleties of each project and client I work with, through consideration and clarity.
