Natalie Headshot 2025

Natalie Norcross, Founder Verdant Branded

Hey there! My name is Natalie, and I'm the proud owner of Verdant Branded Inc.

I've been immersed in the promotional products and branding industry for almost two decades now.

After the initial period of learning the ins and outs of the industry, I moved up the ranks. Eventually finding myself in a sales position, I’ve been honing my craft for ever since.

Fast forward to today, and I'm finally putting my nearly two decades of experience to good use as the owner of Verdant Branded Inc. It's been a journey filled with growth and I’m so proud.

But life isn't all about branded swag! I've got some pretty awesome hobbies too. When I'm not knee-deep in promotional products, you can find me:

  • rescuing animals

  • hitting the trails for a good hike

  • diving into a good book

  • and jet-setting to explore the world's nooks and crannies for the most scrumptious vegan cuisine.

If you ever want to chat about all things branding, promotional products, or if you just want to swap some delicious vegan recipes, feel free to reach out. I'm always here for a friendly chat and a good laugh!

Aaron Trujillo, Director of Operations and Finance

I’m Aaron and I am the Director of Operations and Finance, which basically means I get to balance spreadsheets and solve real-world business puzzles—my kind of fun. I started my career in grocery retail, where I learned the ins and outs of running a business from the ground up. It was fast, dynamic, and gave me a serious appreciation for smart operations and great teams.

Along the way, I decided to take my number skills to the next level and earned a degree in accounting, which led me into the world of public accounting. That experience sharpened my financial strategy skills and gave me a broader view of how businesses tick behind the scenes.

Now, I get to bring it all together—combining practical know-how with financial insight to help our team run smoother and make smarter business decisions. I’m all about building systems that work, making numbers make sense, and supporting people to do their best work.

Meet the Real MVPs of Verdant Branded:
Our Furry (and Sometimes Fuzzy) Team Members!

 At Verdant Branded, we believe that every successful venture is powered by a great team.
And we couldn't do it without our four-legged, tail-wagging, and purring squad members.

  • 😺 Abb: The In-House Therapist

    Abb is our go-to purr-fessional counselor. With an uncanny ability to sense when we need a moment of zen, he’s always there to provide purr-sonal therapy sessions. Got a problem? Abb will listen, and purr-haps even offer some whisker wisdom.

  • 🐶 Edith: The Cheerful Cuddler

    Edie, our resident lapdog, knows that every day deserves a hug, and she’s always eager to provide one. Her ability to turn a frown into a smile is unmatched, making her an invaluable member of our team.

  • 😺Julius: The Night Owl

    Julis keeps us company during those late-night brainstorming sessions. His mysterious, moonlit meows add a touch of inspiration to our creative endeavors. Plus, he’s an expert at catching those pesky office moths.

  • 🐶 Javier: The Energetic Motivator

    Javi’s enthusiasm is boundless and contagious. Whether it's a game of fetch in the park or just a quick run around the office, he ensures we stay energized and motivated, even on the busiest days.

  • 🐱 Henry: The Office Zen Master

    Henry is our meditation guru, often found perched on the windowsill, gazing at the world outside. His presence is a reminder to take a moment, breathe deeply, and embrace the tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
