Hey, I'm Grace! Originally from New York, but a traveling wanderer at heart. I studied a bunch of majors involving art, business and human-centered design, but I like to brand myself as a new media storyteller.

Interested in checking out my creative works?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidentally ate the best croissant in the world while searching for good coffee in Melbourne (I almost cried eating it, true story)

I skydived above the Great Barrier Reef.

Spent half a year researching for and interviewing Chinese survivors of the 1989 Tiananmen Protest, who currently live in exile in America.
