Nice to meet you, I’m Natasha!

I’m currently a Masters student at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor studying Human-Computer Interaction. I’m a UX designer and researcher who loves making the complex feel simple.


I started as a software developer, but I found myself drawn to why we build, not just how. Now, I design intuitive systems grounded in user needs, research insights, and technical understanding.
