Meet the Creators
They’re students first – and storytellers always.

Our HKUST.Vibes Creators come from every discipline across the university. They take the lead in documenting their authentic HKUST experience through their own unique lens. From capturing high-energy campus happenings to sharing quiet reflections on personal growth, these multimedia stories are where students express what they care about.

Daisy Cheung
Before Fall term even began, Daisy from the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies rallied students from every discipline for a summer collaboration — all to give their peers the warmest first-day welcome.
Kevin Zhou
In a campus culture that often feels stuck on "fast-forward," Kevin from the School of Business and Management reminds us to slow down and truly feel the present moment.

Andrew Lau
Andrew from the School of Business and Management investigates where to find water fountains across campus, sharing a practical and refreshing reminder for everyone to stay hydrated during a busy day.


“To: My first-year self” series

Every student was once a first-year figuring it all out. In this series, our creators spent the summer to sit with everything they experienced so far in university – and turn it into something the new batch of students can carry with them from day one. They include real advice, hard lessons and encouragement, everything adulting is all about. 

Indri Nuriyah Baiti
Indri from the School of Business and Management wants us to know that you don’t need a plan to find what you love. She went from having zero interests to embracing cooking, table tennis, and journaling, all by choosing action over overthinking.
Vienna Suen
Vienna from the School of Science reminds us that grades are just a snapshot of our story. She encourages you to say yes to knowing yourself more, seeing the world while you're young, and getting a little lost. Behind every detour is a new discovery.
Paris Ba
Paris from the School of Business and Management found her reset button in the most unexpected place — her walk back to residential hall. What started as a daily route became a moment to slow down, take in the sea view, and reconnect with herself.
Wong Meng Hwei
Meng Hwei from the School of Science realizes that not all friendships look the same. They do not need to last forever to mean something. Some stay for a chapter, while others last for a lifetime. Both can be part of our growth.
