Hello! Welcome to my writing blog. (I have a sketch blog here.) These include my thoughts, musings, and essays on my exploration with human perception.
Bio
Catherine Young
Catherine is a writer, artist, and interaction designer whose work primarily explores human perception and its relationships to creativity and play. She received her degree in molecular biology and biotechnology from Manila and fine art education from Barcelona. She also has six years of professional journalism experience. As a poet, she has read her work at the Poetry Brothel of Barcelona, as well as the BOWWOW poetry series at New York’s Bowery Poetry Club. Her work combines the arts and the sciences to create stories, objects, and experiences that facilitate joy and human connection.
One of her projects, DrawHappy, where people draw their happiness, started as a simple exercise while on a trip to Iceland and has since received submissions from all over the world. She was most recently a Fulbright scholar who just received her MFA in Interaction Design from the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
