First Tee is a national organization empowering youth through golf-based programs and life skills. In 2024, First Tee – Cleveland opened the Woodworth Activity Center, a light-filled, 12,000 sf home in the Cleveland Metroparks Washington Reservation for year-round programming. It features an open activity area, three golf simulators, gathering spaces, and an outdoor pavilion.
Natalie led the donor recognition program, honoring board members, donors, and volunteers whose support made this possible. Bold geometric supergraphics activate interiors, creating a vibrant backdrop for layered storytelling. A custom lobby installation for the “More Than a Game” Capital Campaign highlights major supporters and the building's namesake, Lou Woodworth, with space to grow in the years ahead.
Signage—from entry and room IDs to playful graphics in "Mimi’s Kitchen" for the "Fit to A Tee" culinary teaching space—celebrates First Tee’s mission and youthful energy. Working closely with the design and construction teams and First Tee’s color-loving leadership, Natalie crafted graphics that boldly recognize this community-backed center. Exterior signage is now in development.
