Bio
Kirsten Manthey
Natalia is a hard-working and talented designer. Her ability to think strategically and apply this to her design, is what sets her apart and is one of the main reasons for her outstanding delivery of work and satisfied clients. Natalia also has a keen eye for detail and she gives the term "pixel perfect" its literal meaning. She takes pride in her work without having an ego. Natalia is able to work both individually, and with a team; is able to take constructive criticism, but also provide it when required. Over and above her creative ability, Natalia has a strong command of the English language and her ability to rationalize her work, puts her ahead of the curve when presenting to clients. It also showed the thought that had gone into achieving the finished product. She will be a strong asset to any company that is lucky enough to employ her.

I've worked with Natalia in a team of 8 designers in the past and she was a true asset. She is thoughtful and very conceptual. She always does her research and it shows. She gives great attention to detail and is quite perfectionistic (In a good way!). She works hard to improve her skills everyday and she was also a fun and intelligent addition to our team. It was a pleasure to work with her.

Upstart is a Youth Development Project that brings together scholars from various schools in the Joza Township in the Eastern Cape. It aims to promote social development through mentorship programmes and various clubs and activities. My role was to put together a newspaper using the content generated by the learners, which would then be published as a supplement with the Grocotts Mail.
