Hi, I’m Natalie Houchins
My story
I started my career as an actor and screenwriter (alongside bartending, nannying, tutoring, freelance editing, ghostwriting, and whatever else I could find).
When I decided I’d had enough of the entertainment industry, I applied for full-time jobs that could be a stopgap while I figured out my next move.
I became a technical and UX writer, then content designer, and realized I was enjoying myself far more than I had bargained for.
I called off the search for my next move, and haven’t looked back.
Outside of work, I continue to write creatively and make indie film. The rest of my spare time is spent with my friends and family, traveling at every opportunity, and caring for a small brood of cats with my partner.
