Hello and Fight On! ✌️
I'm Jacqueline Guo, a Computer Science + Game Design student at USC exploring what it means to imagine, design, and develop experiences that are immersive, playful, and innately human.
Outside of my studies, I create visuals for the USC Career Center, help build entrepreneurial community at Spark SC, mentor designers at USC startup incubator Lavalab, drum with the USC Trojan Marching Band, design fonts, and lurk on design Twitter.

In another life, I was a classically-trained percussionist, spending my days honing my musical craft and connecting with others through the universal language of sound. Music taught me to dream big, and then put in the hours to make those dreams a reality.
Notably, I spent the summer before college touring Europe as a member of the National Youth Orchestra of the USA and was a member of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Today, I perform at the LA Coliseum every home game with the USC Trojan Marching Band!
