Women Who Reign: Amy Liu

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.” — Cecil Beaton

Tell us about yourself along with a fun fact!
Hi, I’m Amy! I like adventures and making things. I’m a junior at Stanford University studying computer science. I am passionate about using technology for social impact and most recently spent my summer building a platform to enable people to build web technologies for NGOs while learning web development. At Stanford, I lead the Design and Marketing team for CS+Social Good which empowers students to use computer science to help tackle societal challenges, and for Stanford Women in Computer Science which promotes and supports the growing community of women in CS and technology. Aside from CS, I enjoy drawing, rock climbing, and drinking boba.

Fun fact: I collect subway maps! I think they’re fascinating because they require a ton of information to be crammed into a very small space, in a way that can be understood by commuters and tourists alike. They represent the balance between function and form, abstraction and accuracy, completeness and simplicity.
