Hello, I am Lilith Yu.
I am a Chinese-Canadian designer driven to create well-balanced and intuitive user experiences. I'm currently completing my studies in Mathematics and Architectural Studies at UChicago (expected graduation March 2025).
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 create interfaces that solve real-world challenges.
Beyond design, I enjoy 3D printing functional art for my apartment, building igloos with my friends during the Chicago winter, and practicing Tibetan yoga. As a member of both the Interact Fellowship and the Stamps Scholars community, I continuously seek opportunities to collaborate with and learn from diverse perspectives.
