Natalie F. Johnson, aka Nat4k, is a self-taught art hobbyist from the Willamette Valley, and has lived in Oregon all her life. Natalie began developing the story and characters of NOTA since her senior year of high school. She has also studied and graduated from Lane Community College with an associate degree in CAD drafting. Certified in commercial, mechanical, and residential design drawings.  

​

Her art style is inspired by multiple '90s anime she watched on her VCR/DVD player as a kid. She is a huge fan of Shounen-ai, Shoujo, military fiction, and horror games from the early '90s and 2000s. In fact, the story you are about to read was originally envisioned to be a computer game. A homage to the classic point-and-click games. 

​

When she isn't working on NOTA; she is enjoying a snack, being outdoors, listening to the JRE podcast or Ayumi Hamasaki, playing on her PlayStations, or watching her favorite films.
