Natalia is an aspiring UX designer focused on creating human-centered experiences.

I am interested in understanding people, exploring problems, and using technology to create experiences that are useful and easy to understand.

About Me

I am a student at Michigan State University, studying Information Science with a focus in Human-Centered Technology and a minor in Entrepreneurship.

What interests me most about UX is the opportunity to understand why people do what they do. I like observing how people interact with technology, finding the parts that are confusing or frustrating, and thinking about how those experiences could be improved.

I am still exploring exactly where I want to take my career, but I know I want to work at the intersection of people, technology, and creativity. I enjoy projects where I can research a problem, experiment with ideas, and turn what I learn into something people can actually use.

Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, exploring new ideas, and working on projects that combine creativity and technology.

What I Like to Work With

Projects

ToMo

ToMo's Logo
ToMo — a time management app focused on reducing phone distraction.

A time management app designed to help people reduce phone addiction, stop procrastination, and stay productive

This is a personal project where I explored the problem, developed the concept, worked on the branding, and created a working prototype.

Why I made ToMo

Many of us pick up our phones to do one thing and end up losing an hour. I wanted to design an app that works with people's habits instead of against them.

What I explored

  • How phone use can interfere with productivity
  • How productivity tools can feel too restrictive
  • How social features could make productivity more engaging
  • How a focus session could help users become more aware of their habits
What I learned

Working on ToMo helped me understand that designing an experience is not only about making something look good. It is also about understanding the problem, thinking about people's behaviors, and making decisions based on what users actually need!

More projects coming soon!

I am working on new projects that explore UX, technology, and human-centered design. I will add more projects here as I develop them.
