My name is George Gu. I received my masters degree in May 2023 at Cornell University Computing and Information Science. Prior to that, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Language and Literature as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Informatics in December 2021 at University of Washington. My focus areas are Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and User Experience (UX). I firmly believe that design is a language that serves as a powerful tool for visualizing our thoughts and giving meaning to our intelligence.
