Hello, I'm Alice Yang, a programmer, artist, and slightly-obsessed cat lover. I'm currently studying Digital Media Design at the University of Pennsylvania and I'm proud to be a member of the class of 2012. I will be entering UPenn's Computer Graphics and Game Technology program following graduation.

Creating pretty yet functional designs is what I like to do best. I love exploring the world of web design (and more broadly, front-end design), and picking up new concepts as I go.

In my free time I enjoy sketching and illustrating in Adobe Photoshop (some of my drawings can be found here). Other hobbies include playing the piano (which I studied for 14 years) and occasionally indulging in MMORPG's.
