Hey, 你好！

Thanks for stopping by! I'm Xueer Lu. I love telling stories through data, graphics, and accessible design. Currently, I work as a data jounalist for Mission Local, a nonprofit newsroom based in San Francisco, California.

In 2021, I moved to the Bay Area from China to pursue my Master's Degree in Journalism at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. I've been living in California since.

You can check out my resume here or check out my recent writing here. You can also reach out to me via email at agnesxueerlu at gmail dot com.
