Hi, I’m Carol Yu, a New York-based interactive media artist and developer pursuing a BFA at NYU Tisch. I blend front-end development, UX design, and multimodal AI to craft engaging, accessible digital experiences, from web apps to education-focused platforms. My work spans collaborative projects, live voting systems, and hackathon-driven prototyping, with a strong drive to turn ideas into intuitive products. I enjoy cross-disciplinary collaboration and mentoring peers in HTML/CSS/JS, HCI theory, and AI tools. Outside code, I explore music, painting, photography, and robotics, always seeking new ways to tell stories through interactive design.
