![]() ![]() About Yangyi Tai : Yangyi Tai is a multidisciplinary designer with expertise in user experience (UX), interaction design, and creative problem-solving. With a strong background in human-computer interaction and a diverse portfolio spanning innovative projects and award-winning concepts, Yangyi Tai specializes in crafting meaningful, user-centered designs that bridge functionality and emotion. Their work encompasses research-driven solutions, usability testing, and the integration of technology to address real-world challenges. By blending empathy with innovation, Yangyi Tai contributes to creating accessible, impactful, and sustainable designs that enhance human experiences and promote social responsibility. Design is more than aesthetics; it is a language that communicates purpose, solves problems, and enhances human experiences. It is a bridge between creativity and practicality, a discipline that blends empathy with functionality. When I think about design, I envision it as a thoughtful process where every line, curve, or interaction serves a purpose beyond mere visual appeal. Design does not exist in isolation—it responds to the context, to the people it serves, and to the ever-evolving environment in which it resides. Art, on the other hand, is a form of expression, a means to evoke emotion, provoke thought, and challenge perceptions. While art often exists for its own sake, design serves as a tool to address specific needs. Yet, the two are inherently connected. Both art and design share a foundation in creativity and imagination, but design adds a layer of intentionality that art may not always require. For me, design is art with a purpose—it combines the beauty of creation with the rigor of problem-solving. My approach to design is rooted in empathy. I believe that great design begins with understanding people—their motivations, their frustrations, their dreams. It is a process of listening and observing, of uncovering the subtle nuances that shape human behavior. I see myself as a storyteller, crafting narratives that connect people with products, services, or experiences in meaningful ways. Every element in my designs serves to tell that story, whether it is the flow of a user interface, the materiality of a product, or the interaction of colors and forms. In my view, design is also about responsibility. As designers, we have the power to influence how people interact with the world, and with that power comes the obligation to consider sustainability, accessibility, and inclusivity. Good design is not just about solving today’s problems but about anticipating future needs. It is about creating solutions that are thoughtful, enduring, and beneficial to both individuals and the greater community. Art inspires me to dream, while design drives me to innovate. Together, they fuel my passion for creating work that is both meaningful and impactful. Whether I am designing a user interface or crafting an immersive installation, my goal is to evoke a sense of connection—between the work and its audience, between functionality and emotion, and between the present and the possibilities of the future. Motto "Design is empathy in action, art is emotion in form, and together they shape the human experience."
