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.
