Hi, I'm Hainuo

I'm an undergraduate Applied Psychology student at New York University with minors in Web Programming and Applications, and Sociology. Currently, I'm a Research Assistant at NYU's Cognitive Development Lab and an Impact & Evaluation and Marketing Intern at Social Creatures.

I'm an amateur photographer, a professional kitchen chaos maker, and a devoted journaling enthusiast. I believe that the mandarin orange represents Mother Nature's finest work in UX design.
