design diva

In 1995 Natalie graduated from San Jose State University, located in Silicon Valley, where all the cutting edge graphic design innovation, technology and web site development was and continues to be distilled. While attending SJSU, she apprenticed at Regis McKenna, Inc. where she worked with the creative team assigned to Fortune 500 clients experiencing market share declines and positioning challenges. Due to the stature of such clients, the bar was set to provide the best analysis, innovation and creativity to bolster and save these companies.

After completing her degree, Natalie, was snapped up by IMV Internet, one of the first web hosting companies located in the Valley where she applied her technical understanding of sound user interface design and web functionality. As Lead Designer at IMV, Natalie's talents blossomed as did her understanding of client-vendor relations. Moving into the arena of freelance art direction and graphic design was a natural progression.

Design Diva was founded in the Fall of 1996. The objective was and remains simple ... enjoy the work, enjoy the clients, and develop strategic solutions for their design and marketing needs.
