Biak Tha Hlawn
Interdisciplinary Designer
I'm Hlawn Hlawn, a change-maker using design at the intersection of all my passions: tech, research, human rights, and more. My life experiences as a Chin refugee born and raised in Chin State, Myanmar, have formed the ways I approach my work as an interdisciplinary designer.
At Stanford University, I study Human Behavioral Design with a (not so) minor in Human Rights. I’m simultaneously pursuing a Master of the Arts degree in Sustainability.

When I’m not tinkering about my design work at the d.school, I can be found capturing the beauty of life and living. Documentation through photography and videography are meaningful forms of storytelling near and dear to my heart.
