Hello! My name is Natalia. I am a Junior at University of California-Davis, majoring in Design and minoring in Chi Studies.

My interest in designed came from not only wanting to express myself and what I value but as well as a desire to design for people to meet their needs. Especially for people that don't have that opportunity, more under represented communities. I hope to work on more hands on projects to gain more experience and keep learning.

My experience with repairs is quite low, I don't really tend to repair things that I feel I won't be able to accomplish. But I would love to be more confident and learn how to repair things I might find a little challenging. But I am very excited to learn more and be apart of the iFixit community to hopefully help others like myself.
