a collection of thoughts on urban planning, map-making, and all my random hobbies
I’m interested in urban planning, maps, data visualization, and photography. Right now I’m learning Cantonese, picking up tennis, and spending a lot of time thinking about cities, landscapes, and the ways people move through them.
Current interests
- Exploring urban planning through mapping and visual storytelling
- Learning Cantonese
- Learning to play tennis
- Building my eye for photography alongside my interest in cities and landscapes
Background
I swam for most of my life. I love the beach, want to learn how to surf, and once spontaneously went skydiving for a friend’s 18th birthday.
