Hi, I'm Grace!

I'm a Computer Science major with a minor in Art in Technology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I am working with the Community Based Literacies Group to develop an educational VR game that teaches literacy to young students

My team and I created a boxing simulator that uses OpenCV to track hand gestures by webcam! We won Best Beginner Hack.

I'm currently working with a team to program and render a VR game set in a fantasy forest world. MVP expected Fall 2023!

Audiovisual Art with Code

I used the Allosphere C++ library to code my own synthesizers, songs, and arpeggiator functions for the UCSB course CMPSC 190I.

About Me

Before I was a coder, I was a musician — I've played the tuba and trombone since middle school!
When I'm not coding, I'm playing in the UCSB Wind Ensemble or composing digital music for my collaborative side project: Browo.
Naturally, I'm incredibly passionate about the intersection between computing and music/art. One day, I hope to code my own DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) from scratch!
