Natalie Davenport is the heart behind Bamboo Creative Bali, a small community-driven initiative she founded in 2020. Originally from Australia, Natalie now calls Bali home, where she’s built not just bamboo houses, but a meaningful way of life. Her journey has taken her through single motherhood, learning hands-on bamboo craft from Filipino families, and creating spaces that blend natural building, shared learning, and community care. Natalie’s work focuses on practical, inclusive solutions—like homestays that support people with disabilities, and gardens rooted in permaculture. She’s deeply committed to making everyday life more sustainable and connected for everyone involved. Through it all, Natalie brings a quiet strength, shaped by lived experience and a genuine love for community.
