Hi, I am ZY.ZHU, sr.creative technologist at IDEO based in San Francisco. Working in the intersection of design, emerging technology, education, and sustainability, I create physical and digital objects to reflect and communicate the relationship between humans and the built environment we interact with every day.  

I am the recipient of several awards, including IDA, Spark Design, SOM China Prize, and granted art and research fellows internationally, at Ars Electronica, Technion, University of Stuttgart and MIT Council of Art.
