serena yau: events organizer & creative enthusiast

Based in London, UK. From Hong Kong and Shanghai. 

Along with being a biology student at Imperial College London, I organize events, with a particular passion for anything creative. I currently work on anything from organizing community education for Ocean Park Conservation Foundation (OPCF) to freelancing as designer on Google Sheets (yes, you heard that right), working against the limits of the software to make things pretty.

In 2024, I co-founded a a bootstrapped osu! esports event organization. Focusing on running tournaments, such as this one which garnered 1400 signups, in the rhythm game osu!, I organized the overall tournament, with a particular focus on the design aspect. As a creative director, I focused on coordinating and creating tournament visuals. In particular, I directed and managed song jackets and promotional videos made for original songs featured in the tournament. In 2026, Project Hexagon was awarded with the Atherton Award.

Outside of all that, my main interests are modern political and military history, reading, digital illustration, and musicals.
