About.

I care about the gap between being invited to speak and being heard — and about the systems that decide what happens next.

I’m an AS student in Hangzhou. Gender Studies gives me a precise language for that gap: how norms distribute cost, whose voice counts as evidence, and how a response becomes real.

I make games because rules can show what a lecture can hide. I build student tools because a small product can change who gets heard. I speak in public because a room can hold a question together.

Working principle

Be different.
Be consistent.

Different in form. Consistent in the question.

I change the surface — a game, a student tool, a room with a microphone — but I keep returning to one concern: who gets seen, and what it takes for a system to answer.

Consistency is not repetition. It is refusing to abandon the question when the format changes.

Ask precisely.

A good question is narrower than a theme and larger than an assignment.

Make it playable.

If an idea can become a rule, a screen, or a room, more people can enter it.

Leave room to respond.

The work should not end with me explaining it. It should make space for an answer.

Bio

Rayn Lee is an AS student in Hangzhou. Gender Studies gives the work its language; games, student tools, and public speaking give the questions a form. The throughline is simple: who gets seen, and what it takes for a system to answer.

Elsewhere

The best way to reach me is email. I am open to playtests, student-voice projects, and conversations about Gender Studies and games.
