About this person
Naomi Wu carved out her space in China's maker scene by refusing the expected script. She shares DIY electronics projects and hardware designs as open source, advocates for more women in STEM fields, and leans into transhumanism and body modification as extensions of the same idea: that you get to decide what you are. The flamboyant persona - machine enchantress, as the Chinese moniker translates - is the point, not a distraction from it. She built a following by making the dissonance visible: serious technical work delivered by someone the industry didn't think belonged there.
