Screens, spaces,
& the design research behind both.
I’m Aimee Yang,
Cognitive Science (Design & Interaction) and Physics student at UC San Diego, class of 2027, interested in interaction design for both physical and digital spaces.
I want to explore how experiences can be shaped by thoughtful, creative design.
In my free time, I enjoy painting and digital illustration.
