More about Natalie:
Natalie has worked in the textiles industry for well over a decade. After studying textiles and pattern design at York St. John University, she worked as an in-house designer for a digital textile manufacturer in Manchester, which saw her work with a wide range of clients from large high street brands to small designer-makers. This experience was invaluable, helping Natalie to develop her creative confidence and giving her a strong understanding of commercial design. After beavering away on her own collections in her spare time, she decided to take the leap and go solo in 2017, creating her own brand: Natalie Laura Ellen.
Natalie says: "I’ve been making lampshades using my fabric designs for a good few years now and always find them so satisfying to create. My lampshades are available to purchase in a selection of shops around the UK and via my website: www.natalielauraellen.com"
