︎ A DEFINITION
By Day
“At the core, Helen is driven by understanding people and creativity. She believes in the power of perspective and storytelling, flourishes in the space between analytics and creation, and believes that good design empowers users.”
“Currently, Helen is looking for full-time roles in product design.”
By Night
2. An artist, reader, and writer. Helen’s first item on her wishlist to Santa was clean paper (before, she’d been using the blank side of scrap paper she found by printers). She enjoys drawing people, short stories, essays, literary fiction, and writing about family and childhood.
“Helen is fundamentally curious. She likes to speculate how information and art are used to shape perception, and how differences in perception contribute to a shared reality. She also thinks about things like how wombats poop cubes, why sextech and healthcare are so marginalized, and if she could run a marathon.”
“Helen was born and raised in Starkville, Mississippi. She is a supporter of de-colonization and advocating for marginalized voices, especially in queer Asian American communities.”
