Chrys Wu

On The Web

Bio

Chrys Wu, organizer, is a journalist and user engagement strategist who began her career as a motorcycle-riding, magazine-editing Web pioneer. She now works with businesses interested in deepening their connection to their audiences through research, community-building strategy and user-centric design. Her early work online gave rise to some of the Web’s first hand-crafted home pages and databases. Since then, she has launched sites and projects for LATimes.com, NYTimes.com, KCRW.com and WNYC.org, among others. Her community-building strategy work crosses online, mobile and real-world boundaries and helps people with common interests be more connected. She was honored to be a judge for the 2009-2010 Knight News Challenge and an outreach consultant for the 2010-2011 Knight News Challenge. In addition to news and technology, Chrys’s passions include architectural photography, cultural philanthropy, food, fencing (the sport, not the crime) and fashion.
