Hello, my name is Autumn Lin and I have a passion for storytelling using Creative Technology (CT). I am a doctoral student at Columbia University, Teachers College (TC), where I explore cultural and personal narratives with CT fashion and textiles using technologies such as 3D printing/scanning, digital sketching, laser-cutting, digital embroidery, and AI to bring my ideas to life.
