Bio
Eva Zheng is a Singaporean-American creative technologist passionate about bridging empathy gaps on a global scale through Empact.fyi, a platform that turns audiences into community heroes. Her social impact journey began eleven years ago, mixing storytelling and technology in impactful ways. Eva has taught empathy workshops to youth in Xinjiang alongside the Uyghur community, sparked thoughtful conversations about life and death with the Reimagine: End of Life immersive experience, and founded Project Humanize US, a VR docu-series exploring her journey through the deep South, humanizing people across the political spectrum.
In her old tech days, she was an early employee at Notion and founded the country's largest hackathon at UC Berkeley. She sits on the board for Hacker Fund, a nonprofit that empowers S.T.E.A.M. professionals to help the disadvantaged, educate the community, and protect the environment.
She is now the impact producer for "36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime" and founder, CEO of Empact, a technology-led solution to democratizing distribution and campaign building, dismantling the financial barriers that often gate-keep the transformative potential of impact campaigns.
Empact activates media audiences by transforming their emotion into tangible action through audience-facing impact campaigns, while tracking impact engagement so that creators can leverage these insights for further funding and advocacy. We serve to complement the work of impact producers and filmmakers alike, so do reach out! eva@empact.fyi
