# Hi, I'm Grace and I like to organize stuff. There are many Grace Lau’s in healthcare, tech recruiting, marketing, design, photography, poetry, international snooker, wushu — I’m the only **Grace Lau** who is focused on information architecture so far. ## What I do for work * As an ==information architect==, I create an order and structure to help people learn and understand things so that they can get on with their life. * As a ==content designer==, I create and design experiences with words used on digital products including forms, websites, and apps so that people can better understand and navigate their way around. * As a ==taxonomist==, I model and research concepts into concept and information models used to align an organization’s objectives with user wants. * As a ==digital product designer==, I structure user flows and interactions to be accessible and learnable. ## What I do as a volunteer * As a ==design community organizer==, * I bring people together to learn and develop their skills and expertise through local events at [[San Gabriel Valley UX]], * I mentor the local organizers who host World IA Day Los Angeles, and * I lead board operations, curate the newsletter, and oversee [[World IA Day]], [[content/projects/World IA Cafe]] for [[World IA Association]] ## Other things I do * Sometimes I keep a blog #contentType/Blog . Posts aren't always about design or information architecture. This is a personal website after all. * I've spoken as a guest lecturer, on podcasts, and at local events and conferences.
