Natalie Jahangiry
Natalie is a designer through and through, with over 15 years of experience. She began her career in graphic and web design and has explored a wide range of industries along the way. These include advertising, of which she worked in some of the top agencies in London, creating an award-winning Persian food company (based on her family heritage) and building a renowned wedding stationery company pre-pandemic. However Natalie’s real passion lies with interiors. She currently is the co-founder of Design & Refine Interiors, a London-based studio she runs with her friend and fellow wedding contractor, Jenna Hewitt. Natalie also heads up a design offering (Nat’s Design Studio), helping small businesses stand out and grow their brands through strategic, tailored design.
When Natalie isn't embedded into deep design discussion you can find her with a paint brush and a power tool as an avid DIYer, enjoying a good cocktail, dancing in the kitchen to retro house music or lusting over the latest pastry Insta account… She has a huge sweet tooth! Although arguably most importantly, when Natalie isn't designing you'll find her chasing around her two young girls, who love to get involved in all things creative life has to bring (especially life in the home of a designer).
Natalie enjoys connecting with real people to share their passions and questions about all aspects of design life, mum life and general London musings.
On Instagram, she's @natsdesignstudio_ and her interior studio is @designandrefineinteriors.
