> MDes @ UC Berkeley | UX & Product Designer | AI + Tangible/Music Interfaces | Seeking Summer 2026 Internship

Location: Berkeley, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/runming

Hiii! I’m Run-ming (Eva) Fan, a Master of Design student at UC Berkeley with a background in Industrial Design from ShanghaiTech University and an exchange semester at MIT. My work sits at the intersection of UX design, product design, and human-centered design, often blending AI, tangible interaction, and music technology.
I specialize in user research, interaction design, and rapid prototyping, with hands-on skills in Figma, Adobe Suite, Fusion 360, Arduino/ESP32, sensors, and programming (Python, JavaScript, HTML). I enjoy turning abstract ideas into intuitive and usable experiences.
My portfolio ranges from AI-enhanced musical instruments like ObjecTone and Humoment to interactive installations like Breathings and products like PlugiYoga. These projects explore how design can bridge humans, technology, and everyday objects.
In industry, I interned at Philips/Feisheng (industrial design of foldable displays) and Deemos Technologies (UI/UX design for ChatAvatar, a 3D model generator). These roles deepened my ability to integrate UX principles, product strategy, and cross-functional collaboration into real-world product development.
Currently, I am seeking Summer 2026 internships in UX design, product design, or creative technology, where I can apply my interdisciplinary background to create human-centered, innovative, and impactful experiences.
