CURRENT MISSION

Finding creative ways of empowering communities to connect and become active in their future while maintaining the importance of their history and culture.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from NYU studying interactive telecommunication (http://itp.nyu.edu). I am especially interested in interactive environments that connect our physical world to the computer(virtual) world through various forms of sensing and interaction.

I hope to use my creations to encourage and make people aware of how to live more sustainability. I would also like to create technology that engages and inspires the community to use technology for social and environmental justice.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once(well... almost everything)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
