Hi, I'm Trang!

I'm interested in how powerful ideas shape attention—and how we can design better containers for thought.

Language designers shape public consciousness. Programming language designers build abstractions that make new ideas thinkable. I study both: how attention moves, and how we extend what's possible to think.

What I'm Doing Now

I'm building small coding tools and studying domain-specific languages—exploring how constraints and syntax shape what programmers can express and imagine.

• Beautiful Racket Stacker
• Squeezing Juice from Constraints- on why the best design solutions are often already there, hidden in the problem's structure itself.

Recently:

• Studied open memetics and built tools to track idea propagation across social networks

Whether I'm tracking how a meme mutates across Twitter or designing a DSL, I'm asking the same question: what shapes the boundary of thinkable thought?

Here are ways you can help and support my work.
