👋 Hi, my name is Emily.

🎨 I’m a designer and engineer passionate about creating technology for improving human-computer interaction. My experience spans wearable tech, product and ui/ux design, digital fabrication, computational design, and HCI research.

⚙️ I am currently a graduate student at Harvard SEAS and GSD. At Striv, I led the design engineering team and worked across research prototyping, manufacturing operations, and brand strategy to bring smart wearables for athletic performance from prototype to market. Previously, I have been doing HCI research at MIT CSAIL, CMU HCII, and Pratt CES, with papers published in ACM CHI, UIST, and SCF.

🎾 In my free time, I like to play tennis, boulder, and eat delicious food.

💡 I am always open for collaboration! You can reach me at emily_guan@mde.harvard.edu
