At work, Natalie Padilla Young writes copy for marketing and branding materials, spanning a wide range of clients and industries. Natalie is the author of All of This Was Once Under Water, now available from Quarter Press. The first run is a limited-edition, full-color hardcover book, illustrated beautifully by the German artist Maximiliane Spieß. It is a speculative collection of poems grounded in Utah's history and scenery.
