Natalie Sharma is the Found
er & Creative Director of Pixetal. Born for her love of design and technology (pixel + digital), Pixetal is a niche studio that specializes in creating web, branding, and user interface design systems for industry innovators.
As an Innovate Mentor, Natalie is keen to meet one-on-one with early-stage startups to help them solidify their brand identity through a brand audit and to source tools that meet them where they are.
She is an honors graduate of Mississippi University for Women where she received her BFA in Graphic Design, magna cum laude. Using her 10+ years of experience and early career background in building intensive publications, Natalie is dedicated to untangling large-scale problems and rebuilding them with documentation. She is a strong advocate for working as a partner with her clients to help them understand how to maintain and scale these rebuilt assets.
In addition to her passion for smart, scalable design, Natalie is equally driven to cultivate diversity and community in tech. She is a regular tech expert and speaker for The Bean Path, a guest lecturer and volunteer at The Mississippi Coding Academies, and founder of the Meetup group Women of Design & Tech.
Outside of work, Natalie is a coffee shop fiend, baking enthusiast, periodic actress, and lover of dystopian novels. She is a Jackson, Mississippi local where she lives with her husband, Rohit, and their Welsh Corgi, Milo.
