Natalie Officer

Natalie is the driving creative force behind the namesake firm Natalie O Design at 701 Kentucky Street in Louisville. She is first and foremost a storyteller, “the narrator, the interpreter and the voice that allows clients’ stories to be expressed with clarity and beauty.” You will find her work visible throughout the city, the interior updates at 500 Jefferson, the facade of Republic Bank, the original Story Co-Working space, Please and Thank You in Nulu, Bamboo Coffee and Donuts, newly opened Atomic and Ashbrook Hotel in Frankfort. Her interior design team crafted a careful restoration of the historic and iconic Leight House, featured at the Speed.
She has been in lock step with the owner of the Russell neighborhood 16 room mansion renovation (Follow @RemakingaMansion). Her projects and writing span publication in Dwell, Aspire Design and Home, Apartment Therapy and documentation on Magnolia Networks, "Where We Call Home" and "In With the Old". With over 25 years’ shared and built experience in fashion and design, Natalie brings an earnest and fresh approach to her work. Gathered from rural Indiana life and collected experiences in Chicago, New York and London, the spine of her craft is deeply rooted in searches for innovative and unique pieces. Thriving on the use of textiles, texture and unexpected touches, her work spotlights local makers and artists in both residential and commercial projects.
You can find her "side hustle" passion for art nested in the wall of her studio at her OArt Gallery. This spring she will launch a collaborative furniture line at ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) in New York. The line aims to shine light on the combined talents of regional craftspeople bringing their love for the craftsmanship far beyond the often-expected folk art feel of the Midwest.
You can find her in the field with an intentional foot planted in the hands-on grit of the work, and the other in the purpose of progress. The Natalie O Design is currently listed as an Architectural Digest Pro for 2025. Natalie is in lockstep with her team Julie, Sydney and Maddy and enjoys parenting, partnering and planting life in Kentucky, by design. NOD is working in Nashville, Cincinnati and as far away as New Jersey and California.
