Hello! My name is Natalie :)

Follow along my journey to live big and love bigger!

I’m a Houston native and graduate of The University of Texas at Austin navigating the new and exciting chapter of young adulthood. One day in August of 2019, I quit my first job and told myself that I would chase the bigger me I knew I could be. The me that was inspired by the world and people around her and wanted to share the beauty those imparted on my journey of living a life that makes a positive impact. Starting then, I dedicated myself to being a part of creating that same beauty that filled my heart and pushed me to learn about others.

Today, you can find me working in New York City at Ceci New York, a design firm catering to the bridal and events industry. I am a lover of all things lifestyle, people, nature, color, health and complexity. I am a writer, a story teller, a photographer, an explorer and an encourager.

I hope that by opening my trials and triumphs along with my creations and inspirations to you, we can all live big and love bigger. Feel free to leave comments and follow me on social media to stay updated with my journey. I’d love to see how YOU too chase joy along every step of the way!
