Lord Crawford
Computer Science [HCI]
New York, New York
Lord Crawford is a designer and computer scientist at heart. He is currently a third-year undergraduate student studying CS at Columbia University with a focus in Human-Computer Interaction. His design journey began with web development and naturally grew into a deep love for user interface design.
Growing up as an African-American male in New York City, Lord has always had a passion for enacting change within his community and uplifting marginalized voices. His environment always encouraged him to speak up, engage in necessary conversations, and made him simply enjoy understanding and talking to anyone. He realized that a large majority of products created inherently underserve BIPOC communities whether that's from media, voting, local policy, to healthcare. Lord is driven to combine his technical background with a human-centered design approach to create accessible products for underrepresented communities in the tech ecosystem.
