Oh hey, hi, hello! 👋 I know it has been forever since you’ve heard from me, but I want to get back in the habit of keeping ya’ll in the loop on what's happenin’ here at the studio! I have been planning and prepping (& planning some more) to make a massive shift in how I live and work. Well, It's official – Natalie Hands Studio is now a design studio on wheels! 🚐 - Naturally, the universe tends to provide abundance when we need it most. As soon as my partner and I were fully ready to immerse ourselves in this change, our workload picked up and the time to post the usual updates disappeared. And you know what? – That’s ok. - As I begin to change the way that I live and work, I’m also changing how much thought I give to things like social media and my intentions behind it. As much as I would LOVE to give you updates daily, it’s just not as important to me and it goes against the whole “work less, make more” thing I’m focused on. I might be on to something though, considering I haven’t posted in a month and we’re booked into autumn with amazing projects! - My point to all of this? In the hustle & bustle that is running your own biz, it’s so easy to get caught up in feeling that you must do ALL 👏 THE 👏 THINGS. Slow down, breathe. You’ll be just fine if you don’t post on Insta for a month. - What have you been shifting, changing, or focusing on lately in your endeavors?! What’s new in your world!? I wanna know! 🌞 . . . #madebyhands #beingboss #creativeladydirectory #womenempoweringwomen #branddesigner #womenintech #designporn #minimaldesign #designyourlife #elevatecultivate #branddesign #digitalnomadgirls #designinspo #illustrationartists #brandstylist #illustratorsoninstagram #badgedesign #ladyboss #digitalnomads #fwportfolio #typographyinspired #designstudio #behindthedesign #graphicdesigncentral #branddesigner #creativeladydirectory #creativeentrepreneur #womenownedbusiness #travelingdesigner #meettheartist
Hopping on here between all the madness to say happy launch week to @seekingautonomy! 🥂 - It was super impactful to work with someone who is so dedicated to helping others take back their time and finances - and ya’ll know I’m all about that. I’m no doctor, but I learned a thing or two! Seeking Autonomy is a hub built for physicians who are ready to learn the ropes of real estate investing. - We handled branding, custom web design, & copy writing and it was so fun to help bring Ryan’s vision to life in a bold, modern way. We even helped Ryan develop stellar opt-in content! - My question for you: how do you stay focused on your own financial future?! I’m a total budget nerd and love me a good spreadsheet. What’s your go to method?! 💰 . . . #madebyhands #womenwhocode #branddevelopment #pdxmade #pdxart #smallbusinesslove #digitalnomadlife #aworkinprogress #designagency #typographydaily #creativeentrepreneur #womenwhohustle #womensupportingwomen #beingboss #graphicdesigncentral #customwebsites #creativeladydirectory #websitedesigner #minimaldesign #websitedesign #branddesign #typelove #minimaldesign #wearethemakers #branddesign #brandingagency #websitedesign #printandpattern #fwportfolio #designlife
9,000 gallons of storm water absorbed, 3,120 pounds of oxygen created, 720 pounds of pollutants filtered, 576 pounds of carbon dioxide removed, and the cooling power of 120 air conditioners. That’s what 12 trees create in a year. That’s what booking your services with us creates! 🌲 - We’re partnered up with a non-profit focused on global reforestation and when you book your project with us, we plant 12 trees in areas affected by forest fires. So far, we’ve planted almost 300 trees! 🌳 - Not only are you helping your brand, but you’re also helping the Earth. Book your next project with us and read more about our 12 tree initiative via the link in my bio. 🌴 . . . #madebyhands #designporn #creativeladydirectory #designlife #fwportfolio #graphicdesigncentral #graphicdesigner #patterndesign #minimaldesign #designoftheday #illustrationartist #illustrationartists #illustrationdaily #traveldesigner #illustratorsoninstagram #logodesigns #branddesign #branddesigner #brandstylist #creativehappylife #onetreeplanted #designforgood #dogoodbegood #globalreforestation #websitedesign #logodesigner #badgedesign #designagency #beingboss #fwportfolio
What are you welcoming into your life? Even better: what aren’t you allowing in? Every morning, when I open my laptop to start my work day, one of uthese mantras is on the screen. It switches every 30 minutes, but before I start my day I take a moment to speak it into existence and to just be with it. (Swipe to see both!) - This time of year is always my busiest time! Things have been even more chaotic around here between client work, meetings, renovating a RV, prepping to travel full time, and trying to make space for myself. It’s been a struggle to even find time to batch my social posts! 🤭 - Despite all that mess, just being with my little mantras every morning helps me stay focused. - What mantra have you been feeling lately? Let me know! 🌞 . . . #madebyhands #beingboss #creativeladydirectory #creativebusiness #branddesigner #studiolife #designporn #mantras #designyourlife #bossbabes #branddesign #pdxart #designinspo #illustrationartists #brandstylist #illustratorsoninstagram #badgedesign #ladyboss #pdxdesign #designinspiration #typographyart #designstudio #logotype #fwportfolio #creativeladydirectory #branddesigner #brandidentity #creativeentrepreneur #illustratorsofinstagram #abundancemindset⁣
Somethings are worth breaking your Insta grid for and this is one of them. My hubby & I bought our first home (on wheels) last night! We’re super excited to begin renovating it and to make this RV our home! 🚐 - All of the late nights and long hours are so worth it. In just a little over a month, my hubby will be quitting his day job to join my studio part time and spending his other time focused on his passion for music. - We’ll be traveling all over the continent and sharing a tiny bit of our journey here, but we’ll be sharing EVERYTHING (the great, the bad, the downright ugly) over on our @roadtoidyll account. - Follow along on our road to idyll! 💛 . . . #roadtoidyll #fulltimetraveller #traveldesigner #rvlife #fulltimerv #seekadventure #tinyliving #fulltimervers #ladybosslifestyle #rvliving #fulltimerving #travelcouples #creativeladydirectory #travelmoments #rvtravel #digitalentrepreneur #digitalnomads #digitalnomadlife #stayandwanderer #rvremodel #dreambiglivetiny #homeonwheels #homeiswhereyouparkit #intentionalliving #rvrenovation #fulltimetravel #rvcouple
Running your own biz is not easy. Some weeks, everything is smooth as butter. Everything just flows as it should. Some weeks, you’re the epitome of that cartoon of the dog sitting at a desk sipping coffee while everything burns around him saying “this is fine.” This has definitely been one of those weeks for me! 🥴 - Self employment is glamorized. They don’t show you the regular 12 hour work days, they don’t talk about the internal struggle you face when things get slow, they don’t tell you that you do everything yourself. When you’re a solopreneur, you’re not just a CEO. You’re an accountant, sales rep, receptionist, project manager, HR, client rep, & more. - Running a biz isn’t just Insta worthy shots of your laptop next to a latte, or sending big ‘ol invoices on the beach (but I have!), or even all smiles and all freedom. There still needs to be structure and there are still tears, worry, and second guessing. But dang, it’s all worth it. - The slow mornings sipping coffee in your jammies as the birds sing, the time you get to spend with those you love, the freedom to work where you want, and the pure joy you feel knowing your client is excited directly because of your work. Worth it. - Logo mark that didn’t make the cut, but I fell in love with anyways. 💁🏻‍♀️ . . . #madebyhands #designporn #designinspo #designlife #fwportfolio #graphicdesigncentral #graphicdesigner #womenintech #minimaldesign #designoftheday #illustrationartist #illustrationartists #illustrationdaily #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #logodesigns #branddesign #branddesigner #brandstylist #creativehappylife #branddevelopment #bohodesign #designyourlife #freelancelife #logodesigners #calledthebecreative #digitalnomads #digitalnomadgirls #ladyprenuer #creativeladydirectory
I can’t believe it’s already mid-May, it’s been such a whirlwind of a month. I feel like every other post has been some sort of promo and now I can just share the fun stuff I’ve been working on! 🌞 - This bold logo mark was done for a current client - a property management group. Benchmark is run by some truly awesome leaders in the real estate sector and they needed a commanding logo that communicated their “came to win” mentality. Currently working on their new website and plan to share that soon too. - It’s so wild to think that in just 2 weeks the hubby and I start the buying process on our RV! I have a feeling the weeks will zoom by. Ok ok, enough about me. What’s been keeping you busy these days?! . . . #madebyhands #pdxmade #pdxart #smallbizowner #fempreneur #creativeladydirectory #bossladymindset #beingboss #branddesign #fwportfolio #freelancedesigner #printdesign #creativebusiness #printdesigner #creativeladydirectory #designyourlife #brandstrategy #graphicdesignstudio #patterndesign #brandingdesign #designoftheday #illustrationartist #illustrationartists #illustrationdaily #illustratorsofinstagram #logodesigns #branddesigner #brandstylist #brandingdesign #logodesigners
Alright ya'll, it’s been a few days and this post is a double whammy! 👐⠀ -⠀ Yesterday, my featured blog post for the amazing @ecoclubofficial / @theblogmarket went live and I shared 10 simple ways to go green as a solopreneur. As independent biz owners, we can choose to make eco-friendly decisions for our businesses and even help educate those we work with.⠀ -⠀ Today, my super fun interview with the @hirespod is live! They had me on to chat about my unique journey to becoming a designer and we even talked about everything from RV shows to tarot cards to Unsolved Mysteries.⠀ -⠀ So excited to be featured on all three of these amazing outlets and to share this with you. Check those out via the link in my bio!⠀ -⠀ Pictured: Lead magnet design for one of my most recent clients, Seeking Autonomy. Launching soon! 🚀 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #madebyhands #pdxmade #pdxart #smallbizowner #fempreneur #creativeladydirectory #bossladymindset #beingboss #branddesign #fwportfolio #freelancedesigner #printdesign #creativebusiness #printdesigner #creativeladydirectory #designyourlife #brandstrategy #graphicdesignstudio #patterndesign #brandingdesign #designoftheday #illustrationartist #illustrationartists #illustrationdaily #illustratorsofinstagram #logodesigns #branddesigner #brandstylist #brandingdesign #logodesigners
As you know, I got married 3 weeks ago and ya'll have been asking for the wedding photos so I'm finally sharing! Our unionship was magical & minimal. We read our vows in a beautiful park, surrounded by a few beautiful humans, then we ventured off to an amazing brunch.⁣ -⁣ A big mushy thank you to @thebonegoddess for capturing our very special day.⁣ Swipe to see! - Do you have any fun weekend plans?! I think it’s another hustle weekend for me! .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #madebyhands #beingboss #weddingdays #womenempoweringwomen #branddesigner #studiolife #designporn #weddingdesigner #designyourlife #bossbabes #branddesign #pdxart #designinspo #illustrationartists #brandstylist #illustratorsoninstagram #badgedesign #ladyboss #pdxdesign #designinspiration #typographyinspired #designstudio #logotype #fwportfolio #creativeladydirectory #branddesigner #brandidentity #creativeentrepreneur #illustratorsofinstagram #handlettered⁣
