03 / ABOUT ME

Curious by nature.
Playful by design.

I'm Galina (Jialin) Zhu — an interaction designer and creative technologist from Canton, China, currently based in Pasadena, California.

I grew up curious about toys, mechanics and robotics. Inspired by books, films and everyday life, I now create interactive worlds where people can engage, explore and shape the experience themselves.
