Poised at the intersection between art and technology, I explore the facets of human connection and how it is facilitated through the mediums of the written word and the design of digital interfaces. From my professional work to my artistic practice, I apply my passion for empathy, inclusivity, and problem-solving.
Art is everywhere.
From my interdisciplinary education to expanding my artistic practice over the years, I have always had a love for blending knowledge from different fields. Being first and foremost a creative in everything I do has trained me to apply my artistic approach in a multitude of various projects, from data visualization to self-publishing poetry books.
A strong sense of vision
Conceptualizing ideas come as second nature. With an immediate sense of what I hope to accomplish, whether it is the issue I want to shed light on or my intended effect on the audience, defining goals and feature prioritization easily follow when I am given a task.
Can-do attitude
As a life-long learner, I am fearless when it comes to wearing different hats. From entering grad school without any coding experience to featuring my experiments in Python in my thesis on generative AI, I am relentless when it comes to making ideas reality.
ability
to be resourceful
Collaboration makes any project richer and am not afraid to rely on a colleague with a different skillset to further progress. Regular feedback and agile methodologies can be applied across virtually any project.

About Miya
California born and bred, I have grown up all along the western coast, from the foggy hills of San Francisco to sunny Orange County. Catch me cuddling my two English Bulldogs, aggressively researching for any promising new matcha cafes in my area, or working on my art (poetry, performances, projections, and more!).
