Behind the canvas
Hi, I'm Xinyi.
(pronounced shin-yeee)
Hi I'm Xinyi, thanks for stopping by my page.
I was born and raised in Beijing, China. Currently am a multidisciplinary designer and creative strategist studying at USC's Iovine and Young Academy, working at the intersection of art, technology, and business.
I believe design is more than aesthetics — it's about creating experiences that feel inevitable. I obsess over the small details that make big differences.

Peek Into My Life Beyond Work
When I'm not designing, you'll find me at the barn with my two horses — they keep me grounded and remind me that patience is a skill worth practicing. I also love painting and making art in all forms; it's how I recharge creatively without the pressure of a deadline. Beyond that, I'm usually out exploring new places, trying food I can't pronounce, or just spending time with the people I love most.
