Hi, I'm Chia. I'm a CS & Art student at Yale, from Manila. I aspire to create radical things. Let's leave no student behind.

A little more?

I'm a technologist & designer building systems, communities, and experiences. At Developh, I accelerate and invest in youth-led innovation across Southeast Asia. On campus, I do creative research at the CCAM, advise startups, and lead a design organization. Online, I write, game, and build worlds. Let's talk?
