Hi there 👋🏻. I'm Yuhe, a self-motivated multi-disciplinary designer based in Bay Area.

I'm currently pursuing a Master of Design (MDes) at UC Berkeley after completing my Bachelor of Architecture at Cornell University. With skills in 3D modeling, digital visualization, UI/UX design, prototyping, and computational design, I'm dedicated to crafting human-centric, innovative solutions at the intersection of design, technology, and business.

During my architecture studies, I developed a passion for architectural visualization and computational design, particularly in AR/VR/XR technologies. Fascinated by modularity and universality, I aim to create adaptable designs that engage users and their environment. Seeking faster-paced industry engagement and real-world feedback, I joined the MDes program at UC Berkeley, exploring collaborative design methodologies and emerging technologies like AI and AR/VR/XR.

If my background resonates with you, let's connect and explore opportunities for collaboration on impactful design solutions. Feel free to reach out! 🚀
