who i am
Hi, my name is Christine! Some friends call me CZ, many know me as @xtinezhao. I grew up in many places, but I call sunny Northern California my home.
Currently, I'm a student at Stanford University, pursuing an engineering degree in Product Design (B.S.).
what i care about
Art has always been a part of my life. Through music (going 16+ years strong), photography, pottery... and now through design of digital and physical spaces!
I'm a firm believer that design can and should be used for good in this world. My background in psychology has greatly informed my interest in designing for mental health and community. In this increasingly digital age, I believe that in-person experiences are the key to alleviating loneliness.
Looking into the creation of third-spaces, CPGs, and UI/UX design to solve these problems. In my near future, I hope to pursue a creative career in New York City, and never. stop. learning.
