Hey there! I am Lilith Yu :)
Hey there! I'm Lilith Yu :)
I am a Chinese-Canadian designer exploring how design can nurture connection and curiosity.
I design through play and metaphor to make technology feel more human.
Currently, I'm pursuing a Master in Design Studies at Harvard GSD.
Previously, I studied Mathematics at the University of Chicago,
published HCI research at CHI 2023,
experimented with interactive art and technology at Ars Electronica,
and did product design work at rabbit.
Beyond design, I like to read and make stuff with my hands.
