Hi! I'm Melissa Pao.

I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Human-Centered Design and Engineering, along with a minor in Art History at the University of Washington.

I grew up in Palo Alto, where Silicon Valley has heavily influenced my growing interest in the engineering field. Artificial intelligence and virtual reality are extremely compelling to me, as I see a convincing amount of potential as these technologies continue to develop.
I often find myself at the intersection of engineering and art, I like paying extra attention to the design and front-end aspects of this field, such as product design, user interface/experience, etc. Below is a quick sketch of my skills.

Other than developing and designing technology, I love art! I enjoy creating and experimenting with art and its ingenuity. I am also a competitive traditional Chinese calligrapher, and love the detail and technicalities of calligraphy and typography. On the more active side, I love playing ultimate frisbee, biking, and hiking! Also check out the photo below for some of my other pass.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
