everything about me!

I am Daphne Wong-A-Foe. Born and raised in beautiful Suriname, South America, making me the unique woman I am today; A mixture of Javanese, Chinese, Dutch, Afro-American and Portuguese.

As a designer, it is important to stay open-minded and keep up with the internet of things. I am eager to learn new things, & to develop my creative skills combined with technology. My utmost interest is the intersection of user experience and health care. I put the users and their needs first, and envision to help save and/or make people's lives better through design and technology.

Daphne is a PhD candidate within the project One Among Zeroes |0100|: Towards an Anthropology of Everyday AI in Islam. Currently, she investigates narratives and imagery of AI-religious-futures in the national setting of Indonesia with the largest Muslim nation in the world.

Daphne completed her Media Technology MSc degree cum laude, at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), Leiden University, after writing her thesis Similar or Disparate Brain Patterns? EEG Variability in Jaran Kepang Dancers. Her thesis research used EEG recordings to study aspects of traditional Javanese Jaran Kepang dancing, something she holds close to her heart.
