Hi, I’m Karen! I’m currently a technical writer at Google.

I studied Comparative Literature and Music at UC Berkeley, with side helpings of computer science courses. My combined exploration of literature and technology led me on a path through multimedia journalism, technical writing, product management, design, web development, and back to technical writing.

Through all these roles, I discovered a passion for media and entertainment technology, particularly the way storytelling and technology evolve together. I enjoy hearing about users’ personal experiences through field research.

Fun facts:

• I speak Mandarin and enjoy learning about languages and linguistics.
• Born and raised in the Bay Area.
• I’m a musician and composer.
• No pets, but would love to pet your adorable dog.
