Hi there!

I'm natalie, a cs student in southern california. I wanted to make my own website for a while, but never really knew where to start until recently. This is being used as a hands-on example of learning web dev, so things will certainly not be perfect lol but I'm trying my best to make it as good as possible :)


Aside from coding, I also am a huge music nerd and play 9 instruments (but mostly cello). I'm trying to learn piano rn, but it's kinda slow going because I'm not doing lessons anymore. I also do arrangements of video game music and want to start working on an OST for a video game I hope to make this summer! My music taste is quite literally all over the board, but usually I'm either listening to classical or alt rock/indie.


Some of my other interests include the following, in no particular order:

  1. psychology
  2. sketching
  3. reading
  4. tea
  5. rock climbing
  6. needle crafts

Some of the pages I hope to eventually make include:


School is taking up almost all my time these days, so I'm not really expecting to update this page frequently. I do want to get it working, though, so I'll keep going until it's at least stable.


As a CS student it's kind of disappointing needing to use AI for work/school, so for this project I'm choosing to not use any sort of generative AI to make sure I actually learn what I'm doing. All images are also sourced before 2022 and edited by hand. Any mistakes you may see are proudly human-made!

Thanks for checking out my little corner of the internet!
