Annie Fu is a sustainability-oriented designer, developer, and data journalist living in Brooklyn, New York.

Currently, she's building geospatial web tools for urban conservation and flood mitigation at the New York Botanical Garden, drawing from research in historical ecology and ecological democracy. She's also an adjunct professor for the Data Journalism M.S. program at Columbia Journalism School and The New School.

Before, she designed graphics for features and investigations at Business Insider, visualized educational data at Chalkbeat, and helped build a data-driven educational equity tool for the Cornell Future of Learning Lab.

Most days, you can find her running around Brooklyn or at home making art. But you can also reach her at annieccfu@gmail.com or on Twitter, if that's easier.
