Hello! I am Lilith, a product designer who finds creative, playful solutions to real-world human problems.

I am a Chinese-Canadian designer driven to create well-balanced, intuitive, and at times playful user experiences. I recently completed my studies in Mathematics and Architectural Studies at UChicago and moved to San Francisco. I am actively seeking product design opportunities.

My research with spatial interactive interfaces at the Actuated Experience Lab sparked my passion for user-centered design. This experience informs my approach to digital product design, where I strive to create functional and delightful experiences for users.

In my free time, you can find me 3D printing functional art for my apartment, watching a Studio Ghibli movie, or practicing Tibetan yoga. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories.
