Hello, I’m NAT
I live and work on the eastern shore of nipaluna/Hobart, putting down roots + connecting with community, after spending a couple of decades in other parts of the world, putting my energy and imagination into designing and storytelling for a better future.
On any given day I could be getting up to:
+ Editorial + commercial photography
+ Writing my newsletter
+ Designing + making art
+ Volunteering at my local community garden + repair cafe
+ Visible mending + sewing with waste fabric + running a fun and sporadic mending circle called Mending Mates.
+ Food growing + chicken watching
+ Hanging with my fam, sometimes pottering at home, sometimes adventuring.
education
+ Bachelors of Environmental Design and Architecture
+ Permaculture Design Certificate (x2) with Good Life Permaculture
+ Non-violent Communication
+ Otherwise, self-taught and curious
Imagination is everything
I’m an advocate for the power of our imagination to help us build a better future, because all good change starts with imagination.
My vision is that the future is local.
I imagine edible things growing in every yard, and on every nature strip. Communities who are activated + sharing what’s abundant, and governments and industry at every level putting the planet before profit.
And all this stuff is no longer called climate action, it’s just normal everyday goings-on.
So engaging my imagination as locally as possible to make this a reality is my quest.
