Screens, spaces, and the 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.
Every project below started with real users, from interviews, contextual inquiry, and floor plans tracing wayfinding patterns. I like taking ideas beyond the mockup, prototyping with AI tools, refining in Figma, & shipping things I actually use.
