About
When asked where she’s from, Nathalie has never had a short answer. Being born in France, raised on the Atlantic seaboard of Canada, and now calling the mountains and valleys of California home, she’s somewhat of a nomad. Passionate about the world around her, it’s no surprise to find her endlessly drawn to exploring its nooks and crannies. Nathalie holds a B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California. Prior to coming to the Stanford Design Program, she spent several years at Microsoft designing the user experiences for PowerPoint and Hotmail. She now finds herself endlessly drawn to tackling design problems of social consequence. She’s fascinated by cultures and people and strives to work in the service of those who need it most. When not in the studio prototyping her latest concept idea, Nathalie can be found nourishing her soul in the outdoors by climbing, hiking, biking, snowboarding, and exploring the unique qualities of the human condition.
