About

Hi there, welcome.

My name is Chenlu

 
 
 
 

About Me :)

 

I’m a product designer based in Mountain View, California. I worked for Tiktok, Google Display Ads, Google Cloud and now a UX designer @Youtube.

I graduated from MDes Technology @Harvard GSD and cross-registered @MIT. I am a cross-disciplinary product designer interested in multimodal and inclusive design. Previous to that, I got a bachelor's degree of engineering in urban planning from Huazhong University of Science and Technology

I worked for VIVA as a freelance designer to enable people to share their understandings of life.

In my spare time, I work for @HSSA as a cat volunteer.


 
 

I Design for Connection, Inclusion, and Delight

 

Connection: Individuals are both more independent and more connected than ever before. I focus on how to make people feel validated, belong, and in a community through design.

Inclusion: Design for one, extend to many. I care for people, diversity, and systems that value and respect their participants. Modern techniques should be accessible to all.

Delight: “People don’t buy the product, they buy a better version of themselves.” Good products and designs should be good in nature, create moments of delight, and make people feel good.
