However, after many years detour as a brand designer and children's book illustrator, I have turned back to one of my original creative passions, wedding invitations!

Hey there! I'm Natalie, a passionate illustrator, artist, designer, stationer, all-around-creative, color lover and world traveler. I first began my art and design career in the wedding stationery industry more than 15 years ago, having owned a luxury stationery studio for several years. However, after a dozen years detour as a brand designer and children's book illustrator, I have turned back to one of my original creative passions, wedding invitations! By combining my branding expertise, illustration skills, and fine art background, I've developed a unique style and excellent customer experience.
My own love story with art started long ago, as a child, when I told everyone I wanted to be an artist 'when I grow up' and spent most of my time coloring and painting. With many artists on both sides of my family, I was constantly surrounded by creativity and so lucky to have been inspired by so many fiercely creative and entrepreneurial women in my life. I followed along this same path and studied art in university in the United States. Fast forward a few decades, I'm now incredibly fortunate to follow my dream as an artist entrepreneur Not only do I love illustrating stationery and painting wedding art, I am also an internationally published children's book and art licensing (surface pattern and greeting cards) illustrator (see Natalie Merheb Illustrations ), a fine artist (see Natalie Merheb Art) and I have owned a branding and web design agency since 2009 (see Veda Branding) I'm a pretty busy gal! But, honestly, I love everything that I do and am passionate equally so. Being creative is like breathing air for me.
