An Exploratory Outline

In Taiwan, many young adults struggle to afford their own homes. The rising popularity of the sharing economy has led people to reconsider apartment living, hoping for improved living conditions. This study aims to depict the personas opting for co-living in urban areas and identify their potential future living needs.

After The Pandemic, How Can The Prosperity Of The Ximending Business District Be Revived?
This project was a collaborative effort in a business data competition with partners from the IVC civic tech community. We integrated commercial and open government data to analyze changes in visitor types and numbers in shopping districts post-pandemic. Our goal was to provide precise recommendations for future business council activities and merchant location decisions based on the analysis.

About Me
I hold bachelor's and master's degrees from the Department of Public Administration at National Chengchi University(NCCU), where my research centered on the effects of open government initiatives.

During my three-year tenure at the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research(TIER), I contributed to diverse policy analysis projects, including industrial digital transformation and social innovation.

After the pandemic, I decided to embark on a new challenge in New York. Currently, I am pursuing a MS degree in Data Visualization at Parsons School of Design, where I am expanding my skill set to include web development and machine learning for storytelling purposes.  My vision is rooted in being a Data Humanist.
