Laura

I’m interested in urban planning, maps, data visualization, and photography. Right now I’m learning Cantonese and how to play tennis, and I’m generally drawn to places, movement, and the way people experience cities.

Now

  • Exploring urban planning through maps and visual storytelling
  • Learning Cantonese
  • Learning how to play tennis
  • Taking photography seriously alongside my interest in cities and landscapes

Background

I swam for most of my life. I love the beach, want to learn how to surf, and once spontaneously went skydiving for my friend’s 18th birthday.
