Hello 👋🏽
I’m Tiffany, and I’m passionate about designing cities for people.
I am the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants — born in Queens, raised in New Jersey, and now live in Boston (with a west coast adventure in between) — on a non-linear journey across design, entrepreneurship, and cities. I’ve mapped over 100 street vendors in Vietnam; worked in New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina, started UX at Zipcar; sat on San Francisco’s Environment Commission; studied architecture and urban planning at MIT.
In 2014 I embarked on a fellowship at Code for America, to work on technology for the public sector. Alongside a few friends, I became the cofounder and CEO of Remix, a software platform for 500+ cities around the world to plan better transportation and increase access to opportunity. In 2021, Remix was acquired by Via.
Today, I'm Chief of Staff to Mayor Michelle Wu, the first-ever elected woman, person of color, and Asian American to serve as Mayor of Boston. When not at City Hall, you can find me riding my bike, sitting at a pottery wheel, or running with my dog Nori.
