About me

Hi, I’m Xiaoming.
A designer’s eye.
A heart for everyday life.

I’m a UI/UX designer and researcher at SCAD. I turn insights about people into clear, thoughtful digital experiences.

Volunteering

Care beyond the screen.

Through SCAD Serve, I take part in community and environmental initiatives, including planting trees alongside other volunteers.

These moments remind me to listen, understand local needs, and contribute in practical ways. That same care shapes how I approach people and problems in design.

Outside design

A few things that keep me curious.

Traveling

Traveling helps me see familiar things differently. Noticing how people navigate places, communicate, and adapt reminds me to question my assumptions when I design.

Cooking

Cooking is a small experiment: try, taste, and adjust. I enjoy balancing creativity with practical constraints, and thinking about the person who will experience the result.

Sports & movement

Running gives me space to reset. It also reminds me that progress comes through small, consistent steps—the same patience I bring to testing and refining a design.
