I'm Jenny Fan, a NYC-based multidisciplinary designer, educator, and sometimes researcher/artist.

As a designer, I've built digital products for Palantir, IDEO, and a number of personal clients. I particularly love building tools: interfaces people can use to then create artifacts of their own (be they maps, dashboards, workflows, digital art, etc). I enjoy advising early stage start-ups as they are iterating quickly in the 0-to-1 space.

I currently teach a semester-long Product Design course at NYU Tandon, and am involved with Harvard's Masters in Design Engineering program as an occasional guest lecturer, critic, and program support.

In a past life as a researcher, I've focused on interdisciplinary topics in technology and society, ranging from democratic legitimacy in content moderation to agent-based modeling of disinformation campaigns as a fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society and visiting researcher at the University of Washington's Social Futures Lab.

I got my B.S. in Economics (Information Management) from University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton school, and my Masters in Design Engineering, a joint program between Harvard’s design and engineering schools.

I've also been an extremely passionate and mediocre artist for as long as I've had hand dexterity, and I love creative technology/making stuff in general, whether it’s with pixels, code, clay, or laser cutters.
