Hi!

First, a couple of things about me: I’m a senior studying Communication Design at Parsons the New School for Design and Writing in the Literary Studies department at Eugene Lang the New School for Liberal Arts. I was born and grew up in Hong Kong besides a brief time I spent in Denton, Texas. I love food (especially ramen and seafood), music (my latest album on repeat is cults), traveling (living somewhere completely new is a dream of mine) and the Internet (no, seriously I spend so much time staring at a screen).

I also love reading. I’ve always been an avid reader and I’ve become interested in how other people read. (My internship at Redub LLC working with Irwin Chen fueled this interest.) Now, I’ve decided to attempt and translate this passion into my thesis project at Parsons.

I want to explore what’s possible.

I also am no longer sure about this pursuit!

I would greatly appreciate comments, suggestions, criticism—response of any kind. Please feel free to peruse this site, leave a comment and email me at charis.ch.poon@gmail.com.
