Natalie Barnes
Product Designer & Manager /Based in SF
I love wearing multiple design hats, with a specialty in Product and UX design and a passion for rapid prototyping.
Currently, I am a freelance designer taking on a variety of projects from web design to marketing campaigns. I've been a founding designer for two early-stage startups; most recently leading product development and design at The Orca Network, and previously building out an internal design system and Figma plugin for Parade (YC S20).
I chose to pursue product design because I realized it was the ideal intersection of creativity and scalability where I could leverage the breadth of my hybrid thinking approach. I am able to bring a dynamic skillset to the table with a background in marketing, people experience, project coordination, and design.

I absolutely love crafting and hope to own a small business selling all things DIY one day. In the meantime, I'll keep to my knick knacks (check out my Insta).
I am definitely not a crowd surfer, but I will say yes to any live music event. I actually was a volunteer and designer for Sofar Sounds throughout college.

I am a board game, word game, card game fanatic. I dare you to challenge me to a game of Egyptian Rat Slap!
