Nat
Bloemen
She/Her
I am Nat! I was raised in a family that encouraged me to be artistic and allowed me to exercise my creativity freely, whether it was painting, scrapbooking or sculpting. I looked up to my aunties, cousins and siblings as role models for what my future could look like. As a kid, I also had an interest in technology, so finding the world of graphic design combined two things I am passionate about.
Coming out of this program, my creative focus is on branding, advertising and illustration. Designs that make a difference in someone's life, even at a glance, is what inspires me to do what I do. Visual communications can vastly improve or excite mundane tasks, and I strive to apply my passion to creative and unique solutions.

The goal of this project was to select a locally owned business in Edmonton and create a fictitious re-brand. La Carraia is an authentic Italian gelato shop specializing in handmade gelato, traditional espresso, and an array of drinks and treats. The new identity is graceful, luxurious, sophisticated and contemporary to stay true to its heritage and to appeal to new customers.
