Jenny Guan was born in Shaoguan, China. As a first generation immigrant growing up within Silicon Valley, she cultivated an appreciation for logic and systems through frequent trips with her mechanical engineer father to electronic stores and robotic laboratories. These early explorations of the magic that happens when one puts the right pieces together in the right order carried over into a decade long career as a practicing architect, and later on, as a co-founder of predictive analytics startup. The experiences and knowledge of this multidisciplinary path provides a continuous funnel for her body of artwork, resulting in intricate pen and ink drawings created with the hand of an architect and the heart of a computer scientist Jenny received her Bachelor of Architecture from California College, where she later taught drawing and digital fabrication as a member of the design faculty. She currently lives and works in San Francisco.
