/inspirations

As an HCI practitioner, part of my life is to read, observe, and analyze surroundings. One aspect of this work is drawing inspiration from great minds of past and present eras—individuals who have dedicated their creativity and skills to shaping new or innovative ways of human-computer interactions across various mediums.

My interest in HCI began during high school when I founded a tiny computer club where I enjoyed building robots with my peers. This interest then evolved as I pursued engineering and started building products for the public, specifcally K-12 teachers, and students.

Below are some of the notable inspirations since then: people, projects, and readings that have influenced my work and my perspectives on crafting tools, and I will update this page from time to time.
