Hi! I'm Wangli Yi, a Designer blending creativity and technology to shape human experiences. With an SMArchS degree in Design and Computation and a Technical Leadership certificate from MIT, I’ve led projects in Product Strategy, UX/UI Design, and Computational Design, collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. Driven by instinctual Empathy and self-taught Psychology, I craft intuitive, emotionally resonant solutions for real-world challenges. My passion for Shape Grammar and Artifical Intelligence fuels innovative and logical design. I also excel in Communication and Visual Storytelling, making complex ideas accessible through photography, video editing, and graphic design. My mission is to create functional, meaningful designs that enhance lives and bridge the gap between design and technology.
