Hi! I’m Tao.

I’m a UIUX designer, an illustrator loves pixel art, and an indie game designer who leads my team in global game jams every year, also working on my own game right now. I work best when paired with people who care about effectiveness.

I’m a junior studying design at the School of Visual Arts. I learnt code for games, websites, and art installations in my classes. Before this, I was studying illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art. I’m always looking to incorporate my skills in different fields into work.

My first work experience was as a design intern at Shanghai Disney Resort, working with programmers, product managers, data analysts, and other designers. I attend some large-scale, complex projects for the resort’s app there.
