ABOUT

My name is Heidi Peterson and I am an engineer and artist based in the Greater Boston Area. In 2018, I  graduated from Stanford University, where I studied Mechanical Engineering and art. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, where I perform research in low-cost, passive prosthetics. Passionate about prosthetics, medical devices, painting, and nature, I plan on dedicating my skills and experience towards the development of prosthetics.

​

This portfolio displays my interests, artwork, and engineering projects. When I'm not in the workshop or art studio, I enjoy backpacking, musicals, and reading over a cappuccino.

​

I welcome you to explore what I have to offer, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or further interest.
