Welcome! My name is Peiyi, and I'm senior student at the University of Southern California ✌️️, majoring in Art, Technology, and the Business of Innovation. This is the story of how I found my path to becoming a product designer.
My passion for exploring diverse fields began in childhood. In elementary school, I dreamed of being a pilot and engineer. This curiosity later transformed into a fascination with psychology during middle school and a brief interest in fashion design. It wasn't until high school that I discovered my true passion: product design—a field that harmonizes all my interests and hobbies. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to becoming a professional product designer, continuously exploring various design realms.
As a college student, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to innovative companies like Roblox and Whatnot, designing features for over 200 million users. Currently, as the Design Lead at HackSC, I lead a team of 10 designers in building a design system used by more than 1,000 hackathon participants. These experiences have taught me how to collaborate effectively with engineers, user researchers, and project managers to create and launch products that impact millions.
