Cheryl Lao
Special guest
Hi there! I'm a master's student at the University of Waterloo working on immersive tools for art and design. Whether it's quickly finishing a demo at a hackathon, tinkering in Unity, or throwing something on the pottery wheel, I love building things!
I'll be graduating Fall 2023 and I'm looking for dev roles in AR/VR and creative tools!
