Natalie Gialluca

Current job: Visuals Director and Producer, Freelance

Worst job: The Knot. 

Quarantine location: Mamaroneck, NY / Westchester, NY

Quarantine hobby: Home improvement tasks. Power washing, snaking bathroom drains, sanding wood, painting, even using a power drill, which was a housewarming gift 3 years ago and never took out of the box until quarantine!

Book you'd take to a desert island: Am I stranded indefinitely on the desert island or just there for a vacation? If I am stranded then I guess a dictionary. I can learn and pass the time by learning new words and it is big enough that it will take a long time to get through! If I am just vacationing, then the latest Jennifer Weiner book. 

Album you need to listen to while cooking: 1990s hip hop mix on Spotify 

…while cleaning: I prefer podcasts to music when cleaning. Some rotation of the Dateline, Armchair Expert and Forever35 podcasts.

…while creating: Adele, all of them

What inspires you? Long conversations with my art & design friends, flipping through old SPD and American Photography annuals

Creative crush: Photographer Ruven Afanador; his work is a piece of art, and collaborating with him is magical.
