“Your work will come out of an authentic life, and if you suppress all of your most passionate impulses in the service of an art that has not yet declared itself, you’re making a terrible mistake.”
Hi! I’m Carolyn. I’m a design engineer studying CS and Human-Computer Interaction at Stanford.
I love stories. Throughout my life, I’ve always been charmed by narratives in novels, video games, movies, webcomics, you name it. Being able to connect with others through a story has always felt deeply meaningful to me.
So, I strive to tell stories through the things I design and build. In an ever changing technological landscape, I strive to craft experiences that can connect with people and make the digital world feel more human.
