As an empath, community matters to me.

Marie in 1st grade!

I am Chinese Indonesian, born and raised in West Jakarta, Indonesia. As an only child with working parents, I spent most of my childhood days reading and drawing alone. So, my day naturally brightens when I get to spend them with people that I care for.

During Covid, my school's art club painted a mural for volunteering.

In my sophomore year of high school, I co-founded my school’s first art club with a few friends. We hosted design contests and art workshops. Sadly, the club did not last due to Covid. But that was my first taste of community-building - truly memorable and worth it.

In 2023, I felt homesick when studying in the States for the first time. But there is nothing worse than knowing that hundreds of other international students are also lonely. This inspired me to take a step in speaking for the Fall 2023 TEDx Georgia Tech.

Currently, I am building a welcoming community for international students as President of Georgia Tech International Ambassadors (GTIA), a multicultural student organization that aims to support prospective and current international students at Georgia Tech.

To me, design is...

... so much more than making things look pretty! It’s about enhancing daily lives, uplifting moods, and sharing meaningful stories.


Anddd, whether I’m creating goofy animation reels on my personal YouTube channel or wireframing a new app concept, I find pure joy in crafting digital experiences that bring smiles to those around me! :)

A 9-year-old who crafted her own sci-fi comics and shared it with the 4th Grade class.

A 17-year-old who paints digitally on a touch-screen laptop and posts art online.

Hi again! I’m Marie.

Daydreamer, artist, cheese-lover, Pisces.

Now, I’m a 20-year-old junior at Georgia Tech studying Computational Media with a minor in Industrial Design. This semester, I’m a UX Research and Design Co-op at Delta Air Lines in the Crew Technology division, where I assist in user research and prototyping for a new Hotel & Transportation System (HTS) web interface that replaces a legacy DBMS system. But before that, I was also...
