Born and raised in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, Natalia has a deep connection to the Brainerd Lakes Area and the Up North lifestyle Woods to Water represents. After studying at the Art Institute and spending several years in Minneapolis, she returned home to help launch Woods to Water alongside her husband, Colton.
As Brand Design + Marketing Director for Woods to Water Real Estate and Woods to Water Vacation Homes, Natalia leads the creative direction, brand strategy, and marketing efforts that shape how the companies are seen, experienced, and remembered. From property branding and campaign development to digital design, storytelling, and overall brand consistency, she is the driving force behind communicating who Woods to Water is and what sets it apart.
Outside of Woods to Water, Natalia owns This & That Creative Co., where she creates thoughtful brand identities and web design solutions for small, local businesses.
Natalia and Colton are parents of 3 and feel fortunate to be raising their children in the same beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area where they grew up. Together, their family embraces all things Up North—from fishing and golfing to lake days and time spent outdoors.
