Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHang Do Thi Duc is a graphics and multimedia editor and design technologist with 11 years of experience building interactive stories and privacy-focused tools that sit at the intersection of design, data and the social web. Currently a Graphics/Multimedia Editor at The New York Times, she combines UI/UX intuition with front-end and full-stack development skills honed through projects like the widely noted Data Selfie browser extension. Her work investigates how data-driven technologies shape identity and privacy, producing both research-driven storytelling (Public By Default) and tangible software that exposes algorithmic inference. She brings an iterative, cross-disciplinary approach from stints at Mozilla, Wikimedia and cultural incubators, blending newsroom rigor with creative coding. Not obvious from job titles alone: she secured an NYC Media Lab grant for Data Selfie and has been published in major outlets for her research-led creative practice. Based in the United States, she continually expands technical scope while leading projects that aim to deliver strong messages and engaging experiences.

There are also indications of working on content script injections, and handling user interface events.
