About |
She got her start by simply walking into a modeling agency, and was signed on the spot when she was in high school. Ever since, she has walked the runway for countless top fashion designers...and shot for major ad campaigns and editorials. Unlike most models, she liked to work closely with the brands she was representing. Digging deeper into her work . . . and even beginning major design collaborations with those brands.
Her passion, unique look (she is 1⁄2 Chinese, 1⁄4 Spanish, and 1⁄4 Mexican), and her impeccable eclectic style won her an incredible amount of fans in the industry. Her style and way of dressing is iconic, and she is constantly photographed by streetstyle photographers in all the major cities during fashion week. Natalie is always one to be featured in a magazine just for her incredible and unique taste. She is named “rock n’ roll bohemian, with a classic modern take.” Her style and look has a 60’s and 70’s influence, due to her musical background and influence from her father. As well as working as a model, Natalie’s heart remains in music. She has been singing, dancing, and playing the guitar and piano ever since she was a little girl. Performing arts really went hand- in-hand with Natalie’s modeling. Many of her photoshoots and fashion films feature her own songs, lyrics, and recordings. As a model, it was important for Natalie to really stay creative and to inspire other to pursue their passions, as well.
As a model, Natalie was extremely driven and hardworking. With her outgoing, fun personality and unique flair and style, Natalie quickly worked with top brands from LA to NYC, before working overseas in Barcelona and Paris. Traveling alone as a young woman was really freeing for her. Getting to see the world, meet new people, and experience so much that the fashion industry has to offer at such a young age was quite a learning experience and opened her eyes to many things. It also made her a lot more independent.
