Summary
Natalie Anderson is a Senior Designer with a decade of experience specializing in lighting design for commercial, residential, museum, memorial, retail, and outdoor projects, currently leading design at KPK Lighting Design in Washington, D.C. Trained in architectural engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, she combines technical electrical systems experience from engineering internships with a hands-on, model-driven creative process—sketching and iterating in both digital and physical media.

A former Kennedy-Lugar exchange student, Natalie has honed cross-cultural communication and public diplomacy skills that inform client relationships and collaborative design.
