ABOUT Natalie Wedeking
I am a self-employed package and graphic designer based in Brooklyn, NYC. After working for several years in arts administration I went back to school in 2001 and earned degrees in both display and exhibit design and package design from FIT/Suny. At Cuticone Design, a boutique packaging firm specializing in food and beverage, I was lead designer on a variety of projects including Starbucks Frappuccino, Pepsi TAVA, Sierra Mist and Jose Cuervo Maestro Tequila.

Now working on my own, I design packaging and branding for a variety of clients and continue to work on freelance projects for larger studios. I also collaborate on design projects with my husband, Tim Laun -- this will be our third year designing the branding and all collateral for the Heisman Trophy Announcement.
