Passionate about promoting local emerging artisan/designer entrepreneurs, community and revitalization, Natalia López founded Local Story in November of 2016.

The love of art and of local culture has impacted her life since a child, taking art classes and visiting artisan fairs from an early age. Through out her life, Natalia has had experience with calligraphy, acrylic painting, watercolor painting, ceramics, sewing and other art mediums. Her passion for understanding how different mediums works has allowed her to be a story teller of each piece showcased at the store.

She works as a professional Online Marketing Strategist and business consultant for starting entrepreneurs. Natalia is also a mom of two beautiful boys, Dylan and Noah.
