👋 Hi! I'm ning (pronounced like in "Good Eve-ning"). I’m an immigrant and a mother, and I'm tinkering a lot of stuff. I think in a mix of English and Dutch, while my mother tongues are Hangzhou dialect and Mandarin Chinese. I'm working on projects focusing on social impact, where technology plays a crucial enabling role, and forward and long-term thinking is prioritised. I'm always trying to create something new, and I also crochet, hip hop dance and skateboard.

blogs, about identity, cultural disassociation, and multilingual parenting

picture books, about emotions
