👋 Hey there, I’m Grace! I’m a CS × Business × Data Science student at USC who thinks a lot about how tech can bridge people, ideas, and systems.

I believe great tech doesn’t just solve problems—it shapes culture. In a world increasingly defined by divide, I aim to design digital experiences that connect, delight, and make a lasting impact.

When I’m not wireframing or debugging, you’ll find me expanding my Beli map, rewatching Studio Ghibli classics, or perfecting my beach volleyball serve.

My birthday falls on National Boba Day—so let’s connect over some sweet treats: gracekuo@usc.edu
