Hi, I’m Natalie.
Nice to meet you!

I'm a Communication Design student at California State University - Northridge, graduating in Spring 2023. When I’m not creating and solving problems, you can find me at a Phoebe Bridgers concert, at a coffee shop eating an almond croissant, playing with my dog Arlo, talking about my favorite TV shows, or cooking a new recipe!

I’d love to work for a company that challenges me every day, teaches me new things, and is somewhere I can learn from my peers.
