Natalie “Tally” Nourigat is an American writer, cartoonist, and animator. She studied Japanese and business in college, anticipating that art would only ever be a hobby, but during her senior year she received her first contract for a graphic novel. She jumped into the world of freelance art and hasn't looked back!

Natalie works on everything from superhero comics to animated series to commercial storyboards to concept art. She is a member of Periscope Studio, the largest collective of comic artists in North America. Natalie works with great companies like Disney, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse, Image Comics, and Oni Press. Her work has been nominated for the Eisner Award, GLAAD Media Award, and Oregon Book Award. Natalie still loves learning languages and traveling; she lived abroad in Annecy and Paris in 2013-2014 and hopes to go back soon!
