If a picture is worth a thousand words, I say lose the picture. No one needs a thousand words–not when the right few do so much.
Who I AmI am Natalie C. Mueller. I started using my middle initial professionally when I was ten-years-old practicing my autograph and thought it looked fancy. I am a writer, thinker and creative tinkerer. I like big ideas and small words. I believe strong messages punctuate good design and vice versa. I crave collaboration and, often, oatmeal stouts.
I am a champion of story, both on the page and onstage as a player in Chicago’s astounding comedy and live lit scene. I savor the opportunity to tell your story and make something together.
I now co-run The Banditry Co, a full-service animated video production boutique, as Copy and Story Director.
I was married and changed my name in 2015 and have been having an identity crisis about it ever since.

Talented writers, great beer, hilarious performers and inconsistent weather patterns. I love this city.
