About

Hi, I'm Liyan Yang. I'm a Creative Technologist and Human-Computer Interaction Designer based in Providence, Rhode Island.

Currently, I'm pursuing my Master's degree in Digital + Media at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). My work explores the intersection of technology, design, and human experience, with a focus on computational design, interactive systems, and creative technology.

I believe in using technology as a tool for creative expression and problem-solving. My practice spans from architectural visualization and urban data analysis to interactive installations and digital experiences.

When I'm not designing or coding, you can find me exploring the intersection of art and technology, experimenting with new creative tools, or taking long walks in nature to find inspiration.
