About
I create conceptual physical installations that explore gender, global politics, culture and technology.
Born and raised in Singapore, I am excited about sharing South-East Asian and global narratives that subvert the western perspective through my work.
I am constantly exploring ways to collaborate and build communities to create a more empathetic future together. Together with my friend Angie, I co-founded a community-driven, mutual-aid student organization called Frugalicious Mamas. Our goal is to make sustainability and food accessible for our school and the broader NYC.
My friend Julia and I also run a YouTube channel, where we post open-sourced hardware tutorials. We hope to increase female representation in this industry, and make hardware accessible!
I am also currently working as an organizer for the Student Workers' Union under the UAW at my school.
