HI, I’M NATALIA
I’m probably just like you! Let me explain..
So first, I am a mom; I love my boys and cherish every little cuddle and tickle we have together.
Secondly, I am a wife, and my partner is my rock, and I am his.
But thirdly, I am an entrepreneur and executive with a deep love for fashion.
I have come to understand, and almost appreciate, the unique challenges we face with each new look, each matching set, and each passing trend.
you got this, you can do this, I believe in you!
Are you juggling the demands of family life while daydreaming about pursuing something of your own? Are you a graduate, fresh out of design school, with big dreams of your own brand - but no idea where to start or how to minimize the risk? Maybe you catch yourself dreaming from your cubicle, or doodling sexy silhouettes at staff meetings?! What if you could have a passion project, one that happens to provide additional income to you and your family, all while watering your own creative seeds. I GET IT!
This is why I founded The Lines, a place where fellow moms, female entrepreneurs, and fashion beginners alike can find the support and knowledge needed to launch their own successful apparel line.
I’ve been through the highs & lows of this journey, and I know that with the right guidance, it’s not just possible; it’s absolutely achievable, and it’s FUN!
My journey started at the age of Five, boarding an airplane in South America, when I immigrated to the United States with my Mother. I have one of those unbelievable stories, the difficult journey and the incredible sacrifice, which was necessary to create a better life for ourselves somewhere far from home.
It was because of this journey that I developed grit & tenacity, sheer determination, and relentless willpower to never give up.
I believed that if I worked on something, and learned from those who had succeeded before me, my success would be inevitable.
I give thanks to the difficult journeys, the hard moments, and the tough lessons that shaped me along the way, and to the people that invested in my determination to succeed, who helped me arrive to where I am today.
The Lines is my way to share every lesson I can with you, to be like the many people that helped me along my path, so that you too can be a success in fulfilling your dreams.

THE HIGHLIGHTS
After my flights from Uruguay landed in Florida, I settled, and educated, in New Jersey; I graduated college with a Masters in Education, and applied myself as a teacher in an underserved school district (this ended up being one of the hardest years of my life! Every educator out there, you are a saint, you deserve the world, I’m forever grateful for you.)
I picked myself up and moved west, I packed my bags and my Big Dreams and headed for California. I found early success in modeling with FORD, and while it was fun, it was not the life for me, so I got myself out of a scary and toxic relationship and started again, but this time from Absolute Zero.
It was here that I was introduced to Tony Robbins, and he was able to reignite my passion for life.
I landed a small role in the Private-Label Wholesale Apparel industry as a sales assistant,
where I quickly climbed into a full sales role, and then climbed into a sales leadership position, and inevitably climbed into a brand leadership role… and, well, assistant - associate - director - vice president.. and still climbing ;)
In between all that climbing, I saw this guy on TV (while on a date, must have been a good one if I was watching the TV), and I said out loud, “That’s going to be my husband one day,” and well what do you know, it actually happened.
Eight months later, I met him at the beach. 3 years later, he proposed in Mexico. Another two years after that, we got married. A short 10 months later, we had our first son, Orrin. A few years down the road of life, we were blessed with our rainbow baby, Theodore (but everybody just calls him Teddy). Now that both boys are in pre-school, I found myself with a little extra energy and a calling to create something for you.
And here we are.
