About

“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.”
— Louise Glück

Hi! I'm Carolyn. I'm an interdisciplinary designer studying CS and Human-Computer Interaction at Stanford.

When asked to describe myself, I like to say I'm a little bit of everything–artist, programmer, writer, collector. These pieces formed who I am at my core: a designer. Much like the quote above by Glück, I strive for authenticity in everything I create and to live life fully. That pursuit is what drew me to design as it is a space where I can craft compassionate, human experiences and tell stories through the things I build.
