See how Alferos is using Apple technology to drive impactful policy change and help combat discrimination and digital insecurity in higher education.
Isaac Alferos
Studied Business Administration/Finance,
California State University, Fullerton, class of 2022
President, California State University Student Association, 2021-2022
“I’m doing so many things. My devices can’t fail. They can’t be a limiting factor. I love the flexibility of Apple devices, and how dependable they are, wherever I am.”
As a recent graduate of California State University, Fullerton, business major Isaac Alferos has tirelessly engaged as a digital equity advocate and activist in higher education — and he’s made real change across California and beyond.
As one of the few African and Asian Americans in his school, Isaac experienced systemic racism early on. “My teachers disciplined me harder — I was always perceived as being disruptive. I learned to reject what I was, in favour of performing what they wanted me to be.”
At CSU Fullerton, Isaac joined the Male Success Initiative, where men of colour are empowered to achieve their potential. Feeling “at home” for the first time, it inspired him to advocate for an accessible, inclusive future in education through policy change.
For the past year, Isaac has served as president of the Cal State Student Association and was recognized by the California State Legislature as the official representative of 480,000 students across all 23 CSU campuses. He’s chosen Apple technology to power every step of his work, from the lecture hall to city hall.
Notes on iPad with Apple Pencil supports every aspect of his civic engagements with board members and campus leaders, as well as his research work. “iPad is my Swiss army knife — it works for all situations, and seamlessly with my Mac and iPhone to support my full calendar of activities.”
For academics, Isaac uses Mac with RStudio to crunch data sets and conduct research for his successful proposals — like writing statewide legislation that makes it easier for low-income students to apply to college with a single, universal application.
iPad also enables his creativity and helps “humanize what leadership looks like, by making it personal.” Through the Black + Brown Healing Project, an organization he founded to support BIPOC writers and creatives, he wrote a book of poetry capturing his experiences as a black, queer man — all on iPad.
The foundation of leadership and productivity that Isaac has built as an undergrad will continue to serve as a springboard for his commitment to social justice. And he’s just getting started.

See how Secondary Education and Arts student Hannah uses Apple technology to be her most creative self — as an artist and future teacher.
Hannah Pengilly
Studying Secondary Education and Arts
University of Canberra, Australia, class of 2024
“With iPad and Mac, it’s so easy
to bring my lessons and creative
ideas to life.”
Hannah Pengilly is working on a double degree, studying both of her passions — art and education. She dreams of being an educator and is already pursuing a career as a digital artist, with work that is loved by millions on TikTok. Growing up home schooled, Hannah found that hands-on, personalized learning was the best way to support learners like herself — something she aims to bring into her own classroom in the future.
Hannah’s passionate about helping others express themselves creatively and learn in ways that work best for them. Apple technology helps her do that. With iPad, iPhone and Mac, Hannah makes and shares her art with the world, brings innovation to her practice as a student-teacher and elevates her schoolwork.
“I love designing with iPad and Apple Pencil. It pushes me to experiment and create in whole new ways at the highest level. I can create anything that I dream up.”
iPad and Apple Pencil have been part of Hannah’s artistic toolbox for many years. With these tools, Hannah creates original drawings and animations using ProCreate. “It’s the ideal canvas for drawing and experimenting with different techniques,” she says. For Hannah, Apple Pencil becomes a paintbrush with unlimited potential to play with colour and texture. She shares her process with her 4M social media followers to spark imagination and encourage others to express themselves creatively.
Hannah easily combines her love of art with her student-teaching studies. On iPad with Apple Pencil, she designs student worksheets with multimedia content to appeal to different learning styles. For her assignments, she visually represents ideas by taking photos on iPhone and creating sketches on iPad, then uses AirDrop to send them to her Mac for editing. Her personalized digital workflows help her to develop content that inspires students to learn and teachers to teach.
Hannah's mission is to make an impact in the lives of others — whether it’s through sharing her artistic practice, or creating lesson plans that make learning more inclusive. With iPad, Mac and iPhone, she delivers on that promise.
“I want to use all of my skills and creativity to set students up for success, no matter how they learn,” she says. “I’m driven by helping people, doing good in the world and living an extraordinary life.”
See how Bim, a fourth-year visual arts student, is using iPad Pro with Apple Pencil to bring her dynamic ideas to life.
Apichaya “Bim” Wannakit
Studying Fine Art
Silpakorn University, Thailand, class of 2024
“Digital art with iPad and Apple Pencil has helped to expand my creative thinking.”
Apichaya “Bim” Wannakit is starting her fourth year in painting, sculpture and graphic art at Silpakorn University in Bangkok, in the heart of the modern Thai art scene. Growing up in Northeast Thailand’s creative community in Ubon Ratchatani, Bim developed her passion for art at a young age.
She took inspiration from anime like “Dragon Ball Z” cartoons she saw on television and the “Manga” comic books she collected. She put years of hands-on practice into her illustrations using brushes, watercolours and oil paints. In high school, she discovered even more ways to express herself and expand her creative palette when she started using iPad with Apple Pencil.
“I quickly adapted to the precision and flexibility of digital painting using Apple Pencil,” Bim says. “It brought my entire art kit into one magical tool, without sacrificing the natural feel of traditional mediums. It allows me a new way to bring my ideas to life.”
When it was time to get ready for university, Bim used iPad to bring her art portfolio together, capturing and storing all her mixed media digitally in iCloud. Bim says, “I initially chose Apple technology because of its cloud service for file management and simple-to-learn design interface — iPad has made my life easier.”
Today she uses Procreate on iPad with Apple Pencil for all her creative workflows. Features such as QuickShape and StreamLine with Apple Pencil enable her to quickly add layers, outlines, colours and shadows in an immersive and playful way. “My love for traditional painting and digital art brings me a new sense of balance. My Apple devices help to make this possible from anywhere.”
iPad also supports her daily academic work. Bim uses Apple Pencil with GoodNotes for note-taking, and Microsoft Word on iPad for creating art descriptions. “In class, I use iPad Pro to present my work,” Bim says. “And the 12.9-inch screen is large enough for my professor to view my art comfortably.”
With the ultimate goal of becoming a professional artist, she promotes her artwork at local art galleries and on social media. And in preparation for her senior public showcase, Bim is planning a mixed-media series exploring visualizing people's dreams.
“Through my art, I want to tell a story that inspires others and creates a space for experimental ideas.”

Turn ideas into apps with Swift.
Swift is a coding language that’s easy to learn and used by developers everywhere. And no matter your level, Apple has resources to help you advance your coding skills.
See how self-taught app developer and Mathematics student Zoey uses Swift and Apple technology to honour her Vietnamese heritage.
Nguyen “Zoey” Vu
Studying Mathematics
University of Waterloo, Canada, class of 2024
“I use Swift because it's the industry standard — it's also easy and accessible, even for students.”
At 17, Zoey Vu found herself in a new country, learning a new language and working various part-time jobs. The province of Ontario, in Canada, was a lot different than her hometown of Tân Phú in rural Vietnam. But the change in scenery allowed for new opportunities. In her first month in Ontario, Zoey attended a robotics conference — and it was there that her fascination with technology and app development sparked.
Zoey’s dream of helping her family and community back home is at the core of everything she does. And as she dove into the world of creating apps, she discovered a path that could help her realize it. Through the Develop in Swift Apple Books and the Swift online community, Zoey taught herself how to code.
“Apple is the industry standard for developers,” says Zoey. “At the same time, Apple Developer Tools make it really easy for students like me to learn. Swift is the most intuitive, smooth and easy-to-use platform in the industry. And there are so many resources available to help you create any app you can dream up.”
Dreaming up amazing apps is exactly what Zoey did. Inspiration struck her in math class while learning about the Flocking Algorithm – a computational model inspired by behaviours observed in nature.
“I was missing home so much, and I would remember how my brother and I would sit together and look out at the sunset and watch the birds flocking back to their homes.”
And with that, Birds of a Feather was born — an app she created using Xcode on Mac that simulates the flocking algorithm of birds and encourages children to learn through play. It won Zoey a Swift Student Challenge award in 2023 — an inspiring experience that led her to new connections in the iOS community.
With several internships at major tech companies under her belt, Zoey remains focused on paying it forward as her budding career takes off. Using her iPhone and Mac — with the Calendar and Notes apps and iCloud to keep her busy life organized — she leads a mentorship program that helps Vietnamese computer science students in Canada and the U.S. find internships and scholarships in the app development industry. And she still has big plans for those back in Tân Phú.
“My dream is to build an app that will help improve the lives of the people in my hometown. It could be something that helps the workers be safer or an app that connects people to jobs or educational opportunities. Some way to help my family and community — that’s what I'm trying to do.”
