My name is George Gu. I graduated from the University of Washington in December 2021 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Language and Literature as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in Informatics. I am currently pursuing my masters degree at Cornell Computing & Information Science. My area of study focuses on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I propose that design is a language — it visualizes our thinking and makes sense of our intelligence.
