Creative technologist · Toko co-founder
Erica Du connects engineering, language learning and creative experiments, from conversational AI products to typography and data visualization.
Profile & practice
Brooklyn-based creative technologist Erica Du holds BS and MEng degrees from MIT and previously worked as an engineer at Google, Codecademy and Palantir.
Du co-founded Toko with Jen and is listed as CTO. The product supports spoken English practice through AI conversations, with feedback on grammar and pronunciation.
Her personal site lists experiments including the climate-action visualization justone.earth and a typeface made with Hot Cheetos. These projects offer an entry into her combination of engineering, social questions and play.
Looking & thinking
When looking at an interactive product, consider both how it works and why someone would begin and keep using it. The same question can guide an art-and-technology prototype.
