About.

Hey there. I'm a strategic, artisan designer and illustrator who, as a freelancer works under the moniker “the Seamstress”. I create tailored visual art and communication for organisations and individuals who fall under the creative, cultural and not for profit spheres.

I've had experience in various industries, but it’s my passion for music and entertainment, youth audiences, the arts and supporting NFPs that I find continually draws me to working alongside organisations and individuals of a cultural, helpful and creative nature.

If you think we may be a good match, please email me with your project and/or questions to: nat@andallthatseams.com

"In the 9 months that Nat has been working on ReachOut.com, we’ve gone from being a bleak and visually confused brand, to a modern, youth-friendly, creative and consistent brand. She has excelled, and consistently deciphered what was needed from oftentimes vague briefs. She has managed to turn around work with great speed, flair and efficiency and hasn’t batted an eyelid at the fact that we always have to include youth ambassadors in the feedback processes, not just the marketing team – something many designers would find tiresome. Not only this, but she has been flexible in her delivery, and her new interpretation of our very tired brand guidelines not only have gone a long way to helping us reach and help more young people, but making ReachOut seem relevant and appealing to them.

Nathalie Swainston – Brand & Marketing Manager – ReachOut.com

"Working with Nat was fantastic. As well as being highly creative and thorough, professional and dependable, I found her to have fantastic communication skills. Nat worked with me entirely through email and Skype conversations to develop a whole package under very tight timeframes. It included my logo, EP artwork, and tour poster. People always remark on how beautiful they are and ask me who did it."

Rose Wintergreen – Musician

"I have been working with Nat (the Seamstress) for over 5 years. She has been incredible to work with in many capacities. She has the ability to always bring my briefs alive and go beyond my expectations in the design process & final outcome. Nat is 100% diligent and always meets our deadlines. I will use her services for years and years to come. If she was a movie I would give her 5 stars."

Greg Carey – Corporate Director – MusicNSW

"We are totally stoked with the result. It was great to work with someone who had initiative and good eye for detail. I have worked with some art guru's in the past and it has proven to be nothing but a painful nightmare. It was a real treat to be involved with someone who knew exactly what we wanted - even if we were a little unsure ourselves! I think the questionnaire / brief at the beginning was a good aid".
