About
Hi, I'm Natalie Ammari, a jack-of-all-trades visual designer born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, California!
I've obtained my bachelor's degree in Communication Design and a minor in Psychology from California State University of Northridge.
Alongside getting my degree, I've earned a specialized certificate after completing a rigorous and extensive UX/UI course with Coursera and Google.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to work together!
