Jin Liu is a graduate student at the University of Connecticut. She is pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Digital Media Design, focusing on Game Design. Before attending UConn, she went to Beijing Film Academy in China and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Media Art. There she had experiences in video production, interactive design, Processing, and game design. She is interested in creating Virtual Reality, independent games, and new media art.
As a new DMD student, as well as a new international student in the United States, Jin is very much looking forward to the cultural collision of people here, which she regards as an extraordinary adventure. She hopes that in a comprehensive university like UConn that accommodates a wide variety of majors, she can find different ways of thinking and various ways to solve problems. She also hopes that she can collaborate with students from different majors to create wonderful works that attain achievements in multiple fields.
She likes to participate in various activities (sports, adventures, exhibitions, seminars, etc.) and also enjoys time alone. She believes that death is still far away from her, so she has plenty of time to try new and fascinating things and explore the wonderful connection between people.
