My Journey to Design
Roots in Beijing
I was born in Beijing, and one of the characters in my name — Jing 京 — is the same as the Jing in Beijing. This city didn't just raise me — it's woven into my identity. Beijing shaped how I think, how I move through space, and how I see the world. It's a city where sleek modern architecture rises beside ancient hutongs, where culture and history collide to create something alive and ever-evolving. No matter where I go, the rhythm, spirit, and groundedness of Beijing live deep inside me — they'll always be part of who I am and how I design.
It All Starts with Body
My first year studying alone in the U.S. was filled with uncertainty, but dance became my way in. I made friends through movement, found community in the theater world, and discovered how performance could connect me not only with people, but with the world itself. I was drawn to creating immersive experiences — moments when the lights dim, the stage glows, and everything beyond the theater fades. In that silence, something intimate and powerful unfolds. That's where my love for experience design began.
From Movement to Making
During COVID, I was studying abroad in Paris and found myself locked down with my host family. Live performance — my creative outlet — suddenly became impossible. In that stillness, I turned to the digital world. I started experimenting with online performances and became curious about designing digital spaces. Unlike theater, which disappears the moment the lights go off, digital experiences linger, scale, and shape people's lives in quiet, ongoing ways. That realization drew me deeper into design, where the boundaries between reality and virtuality began to blur.
Becoming a UX Designer
After college, I joined a Web3 startup as a founding designer, where I had the opportunity to build from the ground up and explore the intersection of emerging technology and user experience. That experience deepened my interest in designing for systems — where usability, trust, and innovation must coexist. Later, through internships and freelance work across healthtech, finance, retail, and both B2B and B2C products, I expanded my design toolkit and began to understand the impact design can have on business outcomes. I started to think not just about users, but about stakeholders, growth, and long-term value.
Embracing Craft as Care
At Parsons, I discovered that design is more than a solution — it's a practice of care. I immersed myself in making and prototyping, learning to navigate complexity while refining every detail with intention. Inspired by the poetics of craftsmanship, I began seeing design as a slow, thoughtful process — a dialogue between hands, mind, and material. Through this, I found joy in making systems simpler, more beautiful, and more human.
The Future is Now
Today, I see myself as an interdisciplinary designer — shaped by movement, research, and technology. I've equipped myself with skills across UX, storytelling, and systems thinking, and I'm ready to let them prove their value in the real world. There's still so much I'm eager to learn, and I'm seeking opportunities where I can grow with a team, contribute meaningfully, and design with impact.
