I just graduated from college in May 2025 with a double-degree in Computer Science and Studio Arts, landed in San Francisco roughly in June, and is still figuring out what I want to pursue for my 20s, using the product design, human skill & an unrequited love for the planet I'm equipped with throughout my life.
Projects I've been up to in this discovery:
I won school 1st prize performing a roleplay reading to The Little Match Girl by Hans Andersen, which got me fell in love with telling stories about human lives.
I pitched a mobile app to help detect workplace sexual harassment. My proof-of-concept didn't make it pass the quarter-final of Technovation 2019, but now I know technology is my gateway to building the world I want to live in, and that solving systemic problems requires systematic solutions.
I learnt about UX design and DIY my first case study at DemocracyLab.org. I also volunteered designing several websites and graphic assets for non-profits and eventually initiated a usability testing workshop to revamp my college technology resource hub. I found meaning in projects that make technology an ally to people and the communities who need it most. And I've been UX-ing since :)
I have moved to San Francisco after graduating from college, per a special connection with the city during my ConFig 2025 trip.
By day, I dabble into AI, startup news, and design education for tech career switchers. By night, I delve into community building and social impact technology to build something for those I truly care about.
