Hi - I’m Natalie. I’m from Washington, DC and a senior at Northwestern University studying mechanical engineering, design, and psychology.

I’m involved in a variety of engineering, entrepreneurial, and design pursuits on and off of campus. I’m a resident at The Garage, Northwestern’s startup incubator, serving as product manager of Tego, a consumer electronics startup venture. I’m passionate about taking a human and environment centered approach to my innovation and development. I love tackling challenging projects that drive forward our society and our planet.

I recently finished an internship in New Product Introduction at Entegris, working on the development, production, and release of semiconductor manufacturing components. This quarter, I’ve partnered with National Carwash Solutions and Macneil for my senior capstone project, where I’m developing an immersive modular technician training system to simulate the experience of installing and maintaining carwash systems.

Beyond engineering, I apply my technical, organizational, and leadership skills as the Director of Operations for Northwestern’s Dillo Day, the largest run student music festival in the country. I love all things music and in my free time you can find me perusing Spotify, trying to break my record of 120,000 minutes streamed in a year. I also love playing and competing as part of a team with Northwestern's Women’s Ultimate Frisbee.

This portfolio is a compilation of my most proud personal and professional projects—a mix of technical and creative work and how I’ve intertwined the two. All photography you see is my own. Thanks for checking it out.
