For me, it's all about colour, layout, and that totally touchable paper
ARE WE STATIONERY SOULMATES?
And while stationery and paper get me everytime, layout is my other love.

That "tactile perception" wins hands down over a swipe of a screen or click of a mouse, any day of the week!
...and A Tactile Perception is my brand. I'd love to tell you what that means.
In an increasingly digital world, many of us still enjoy the unique feeling we get when we run our fingers over a beautifully textured piece of paper.
It's this physical, visual and tactile experience that I am passionate about. Send your guests a unique invitation, and they will experience the first impression of your exquisite event.
It's hard to explain, I've always been drawn to magazine and website layouts. I remember the first time I discovered Belle magazine. I was a young teenager, and was in awe of the images and the way it was all laid out, page after page.
Fast forward to the age where websites rule, I now create brands and website design with so much joy! It helps that I have a techy side too!
I'm Natalie
I'm here creating wedding invitations in Melbourne, around raising my 5 kids, going to yoga, and taking detours to stationery stores to buy pens I don't actually need.
Design isn't just pretty things. Your wedding stationery, your branding, your website, they're nothing unless it's meaningful and personal. The details matter over here with me, and that means getting to know you and your story.
Why choose me?
A FOCUS ON MEANINGFUL DESIGN
HOSPITALITY
You don't just get a product at the end. I believe that good service is an integral part of the process, which means timely and clear communication, and when you ask questions, it's me that gives you the answers.
I'm a creative person, and you might have noticed that I love colour! Colour tells a story and evokes a feeling, and I've done my job well when you feel an abundance of joy with your design. Quality is of upmost importance to me, so rest assured you're getting the best final product.
COLOUR, JOY, AND QUALITY

Mum of 5
The switch from neuropsychologist to graphic designer was huge for me, and I feel so incredibly fortunate to be able to create beautiful and meaningful things every day.
When I was 6 years old, I was teaching my classmates origami! I taught myself calligraphy in Grade 4 - the same year I won an Australia Post drawing competition. I have always been sketching, cutting, gluing, designing and creating. I still draw with paper and pen, write out lists on scrap paper to get my ideas straight, and have a good old-fashioned paper diary every year.
It might surprise you to hear that I have a backgound in neuropsychology ("what's that?" I hear you ask!) I have a PhD in brain development, and have spent years researching and observing brain function. I know, neuropsychology and paper craft couldn't be more different. But, as a former neuropsychologist I have a unique perspective on perception. I understand the flood of stimulation the brain receives as we experience something pleasant, as we touch something between our fingertips, perceiving something in our conscious mind. I also understand how important aesthetics and the visual experience are on our enjoyment and our wellbeing.
