About
Hello! Iām Dorothy.
I am a Venture Capital (VC) investor and Science, Technology, and Society (STS) researcher, with a background in web development, UIUX, and visual arts. I was awarded a full scholarship and completed part of my undergrad at Stanford for making memes in high school.
I believe technology needs to be problem-first and community-centric to make real impact, and that every business-person and engineer should take an anthropology class.
My prior experience also includes: medtech, merchandising, social media marketing, and education ā drawn together by a curiosity about how systems work and who they work for.
In my free time, I write poetry. I published my first collection, "While I Watched the Airplanes", at 18! It is available internationally at major retailers.
I also illustrate and sell prints at local art markets (wherever I am based) šØš ā Currently in Singapore, but also often in San Francisco Bay Area, London, and Sydney.
