NATASHA DICKINS
DIY SPECIALIST • PRODUCER • PRESENTER • EDITOR • WRITER • STYLIST
As a DIY specialist…
my experience in TV presenting, magazine editing, writing, styling and photography combines with practical, hands-on knowledge to produce tailored how-to content for clients.
At my fully setup workshop I build furniture while proving how easy it is to choose the best products and the right tools.
I’ve renovated kitchens, installed decks, built cabinets and restored vintage pieces, all with a focus on how simple design can improve everyday life.
As a producer…
I tap into my media background to create strategies with the same approach as planning a magazine – by getting to know an audience and engaging through focused, well-written and visual narrative.
I integrate brands into genuine home improvement, renovating, building and hands-on decorating action.
Showcasing products in situ proves that they’re stylish, good-value, go-to essentials for everyday DIYers and decorators.
Our collaboration results in publishable assets for digital, print and social platforms.
“My first ever memory is of playing in the wood chips of my dad’s shed. As a kid I used a mini hammer to bang bits of timber together. As a grown-up I have a workshop full of tools and a headful of handy knowledge to share.”
I produce complete projects, from planning and design, to showing tools in use and capturing the building process, plus styling the end result. This creates comprehensive how-to-DIY stories with hero images, step-by-step instructions and authentic brand placement.
While the assets are made available for publishing in your house style, I can also be an ambassador by sharing our collaboration on my Little Red Industries channels.
Let’s chat about your brand needs and how I can help.
As a regular consultant to editorial on the Bunnings Magazine, I also produce features by building unique designs, photographing the steps and writing the copy…
…often creating behind-the-scenes video to run on my Little Red Industries channels.
When it comes to DIY, I prove how easy it is to choose the best products and use the right tools, having created marketing assets for many tools, hardware and paint brands.
As a brand ambassador, I like to plan long-term collaborations and have enjoyed working with Bondall for the past few years, creating lots of unique projects such as this bedhead.
I’ve written the scripts and presented a series of instructional renovating videos with domain.com.au for National Australia Bank …
…. and wrote regular The Block commentary for Domain News.
My fully set up workshop studio on the mid-north coast of NSW is where I make, build, photograph, style and create content.
I also build fit-out solutions, with projects in demand by the likes of Seafolly Retail, Lotus Dining Group and Ooh! Media…
… and retail display for smaller businesses, trade shows and pop-ups.
Discerning home decorators commission me to build bespoke furniture and this table was customised for a client’s dining room.
I’ve partnered with like-minded brands, such as Porta Timber, to run social campaigns such as a competition where the prize was ‘win a room design’ with me and Porta providing the materials.

When we work together to create point-of-difference projects, it’s always worth extending our reach by pitching them to third-party publishers, such as this super-popular fabric door on Interiors Addict and a rattan cabinet makeover on Houzz Australia.
Collaborate with Materialised to launch FlorenceBroadhurstFabrics.com by designing an original piece – a changeable room divider – to showcase the iconic textiles brand.
Produce a series of videos with supporting online worksheets for Better Homes & Gardens plus a specialised Christmas Instagram campaign.
As former editor of Handyman magazine, helped readers tackle that weekend to-do list and inspired radio listeners to roll up their sleeves.
• Work with Gumtree to present their annual Secondhand Economy Report
• Direct and style a series of DIY videos with White Knight Paints (with Taubmans) for their #WhiteKnightRevive campaign.
