Luoyi Guan is a user-centered designer with a strong foundation in computer science and frontend development. With a background bridging engineering and design, she specializes in crafting intuitive, accessible digital experiences that balance technical precision with human-centered thinking.
Currently based in Los Angeles, Luoyi just completed her MFA in Media Design Practices at ArtCenter College of Design. Her work explores the intersection of interactive media, system design, and emerging technologies, often integrating code-based prototyping with thoughtful interface design. She is particularly skilled in cross-functional collaboration, working closely with developers and product managers to ensure that visual and interaction design align with both user needs and technical feasibility.
Her design process is grounded in research, visual clarity, and system thinking—whether building design systems, developing high-fidelity prototypes, or facilitating communication across teams. With a versatile toolkit spanning Figma, React.js, Unity, and creative coding platforms like TouchDesigner and Processing, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to every project.
