steven hao
GRAPHIC DESIGNER I'm Steven, a grade 11 student. I've grown up interested in programming, drawing, and graphic designs, but more recently interested in urban planning. I cycle to school and back every morning, enjoying a nice, peaceful journey with friends but would hope that more students at my school do the same. One of my friends introduced me to the world of urban planning, and how issues relating to mobility, climate change, and livability can be addressed using urban planning approaches. I joined the chapter and became an executive, both educating myself and others of urban planning issues, and how to make our school a more inviting place for all through the design challenge.
