Turning Vision into Video
Natalie is an experienced, passionate storyteller who’s spent years in news broadcasting and video production. To her, nothing is more important than telling engaging stories. She loves finding creative ways to bring clients’ visions to life. She ensures each of her clients’ needs are met during every stage of the production through constant communication, managing timelines and keeping an eye on budget.
Natalie produces all forms of content, including corporate branded videos, docu-style videos, recaps, podcasts and more. She leads a trusted crew of filmmakers, editors and designers who understand and meet her high standards, executing efficiently and consistently. Natalie’s team relies on her to be a problem solver during pre-production, a fast thinker on set and a creative partner in post-production.
When she's not producing, giving notes or cheering on her alma mater (Go Rattlers!), you can find her watching a sports documentary or attempting a new recipe she bookmarked in a cookbook.
As previously mentioned, Natalie started her career in broadcast journalism.
