Natalia Cortez ✨

Hello, exploring and aspiring designers! 🌍✨ I’m Natalia—described as your girl-next-door who has filled her passport with stamps and is obsessed with studying architecture. My job as an Architectural Visualist involves taking dreams and putting them into blueprints 🏗️, and at night I turn into a travel writer, trying to catch the perfect sunset while drawing the city from all over the world.

Life is too short not to have interesting buildings and interesting people, right? 😉 I fell in love with spaces—how they breathe, how they tell stories and how they make you feel no matter where you are. From the bursting of bright neon lights in Tokyo, to the old soul in the alleyways of Lisbon, I’ve spoken to walls and danced with darkness on foreign land.

My journey? It’s messy—messed up luggage, missed flights, that time in Santorini where I accidentally walked into a private villa thinking it was a boutique hotel, and I wasn’t even staying there! 😅 But every disaster turned into a fairytale. Like the moment I sat in a hidden café in Paris, covered in stained glass ceilings and I knew this is why I travel and this is why I create.

I’m here to humanize architecture. To show you that loose artifacts have a heartbeat, that each weightless space has a dream, that at the core of buildings—is meaning. And perhaps—just perhaps—be a reason to get your adventure on in your own life, blueprint by blueprint.

Let’s get lost together, yes? 🌙✈️

P.S. I am that girl who finds a doorway and takes 100 photos and cries over good lighting. No shame.
