Jen Chae has a passion for quirky [iPhone gadgets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hQya8c1VJJ4) that make selfie-taking a whole lot easier. Her favorite gadget is a wallet-sized tripod that begins as the size and shape of a business card. By folding the card along some predetermined seams, it becomes a miniature tripod. Since the tripod holds the user’s iPhone completely still, it can be used to take flawless photos of everything from family dinners to wild nights out.

When Jen isn’t searching the web for the coolest new iPhone accessories, she loves posting photos of her experiences to her [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instapocket) account, travelling the world, and, of course, writing for Trend Hunter. From her internship, Jen has learned everything from SEO strategy to how to write with speed, making this internship “the best I’ve had so far… I’ll be really sad to leave,” says Jen.
