Natalie Ip
Graphic Designer - Bachelor of Design and Visual Communication
Certainly the quiet achiever of the team - known not to say alot, but when she does, it always hits the mark. Nat has been one of our most successful designers in ‘winning’ client choice and gaining design consensus. From her tertiary studies and practical experience, Nat effectively applies the science of psychology and her understanding of the emotional quotient to the design process to optimise response. Her passion for work is driven by a strong community spirit.
