Chrys Wu, a journalist and user engagement strategist, began her career as a motorcycle-riding, magazine-editing camera junkie. She now works with businesses to deepen their connection to users looking for information, entertainment and like-minded communities on the Web and on mobile.

Her clients include NYTimes.com, NPR, The Los Angeles Times and LATimes.com, Chronicle Books, Herman Miller, KCRW.com and WNYC.org. She is also is honored to be a judge for the 2010 Knight News Challenge, which will award up to $5 million to fund tools, platforms and services to further forward-thinking projects for community news and social media.

In addition to news and technology, Chrys’s passions include architectural photography, cultural philanthropy, food, fencing (the sport, not the crime) and fashion.
