Blending art, spirit, and tech
to facilitate care, equity,
& whimsy.
I'm Jianda Monique — holistic coach, writer, musician, techie, and multi-disciplinary artist. My work lives in tech, spirit, stewardship, community care, and creative expression.
Metaphysical, multimedia, data worker.
I developed data science skills working with the UCSF Epidemiology Team on public health modeling during COVID-19, and deepened that foundation as a 2021 Kaggle/Google BIPOC Data Fellow. The fellowship sparked a project I'm still building: a mutual aid resource directory for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists. I'm collaborating with others on many other projects. I've worked across the entertainment, nonprofit, education, and tech industries — from MP3.com to UCSF to Amazon — always finding ways to center community, creativity, and the belief that art heals.
