Hello! 👋
I’m Mengming. I love learning about the relationships we hold with our tools, others, and ourselves.
Currently I’m a product designer studying Human-Computer Interaction, minoring in Computer Science, at UCSD. These days you can find me at the Design Lab.

Get to know me! Outside design I love to:
Illustrate & Journal
Experiment with the web as a playful material
Marvel at the immensely cool things others make
Work
Questions I’ve tackled:
How do we streamline the annotation process in ethnographic research?
How do we help users self-troubleshoot when interfacing with diabetes management tools?
How do our minds break down goals into finer-scale subtasks?
Ask me about...
I picked up this book because I wanted to learn more about teamwork and the “empowerment dynamic.” When conflict arises in our relationships, how do we take responsibility to create better outcomes for everyone?
I Thought it Was Just Me — Brene Brown
On how our relationship with shame (and ourselves) reflects in our relationships with others.
Elements of Fiction Writing: Plot — Ansen Dibell
Designing is plot is more complex and strategic than I thought! It is supremely cool to see the strategic behind-the-scenes of creative work.
