Hello there Cantonese-American designer-developer and journalist here — based in Melbourne, Australia.

I’m a data viz developer at The Straits Times. Before this, I worked at Stuff.co.nz, The New York Times and Upstatement collecting and telling stories with data.


About me

I’m a visual communicator working in the intersection of news, design and technology. When words alone fall short, I find ways to translate complex information into approachable, visually-compelling stories. By combining my coding skills with my passion for design, I create interactive graphics that engage and inform readers in a digital space.

Having grown up on the East Coast of the United States, I made a leap to the other side of the world and wound up in Australia. (It’s a long story.) I earned a B.S. in Computer Science & Design from Northeastern University in Boston where I discovered the powerful role that technology can have in a newsroom. I’m always looking for ways to innovate and push boundaries in the way we craft and consume media.

I’m also a proud member of the Asian American Journalists Association where I helped to establish and lead the “News Nerds” affinity group for members like myself who are interested, or working, in the tech and journalism space.

Ironically, I picked up ice hockey only after leaving New England and moving to Melbourne. Now it’s my whole personality, and I proudly play for the Southern Lights.

Me being silly, half standing, half crouching on a big rock on the beach with my arms extended. I'm looking off to the distance a smiling.
