ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Tong (Yutong) Song part designer, part engineer, part "wait, how did you do that?"


I'm a multidisciplinary, bilingual design engineer fluent in product conceptualization, interactive systems, and emerging technology, equally comfortable sketching on paper or training a model. My work spans product design, UI/UX, interactive media, AI-driven creativity, and sustainable systems, built on a practice of rapid prototyping, 3D modeling, and iterative design.


I'm drawn to the space where technology, nature, and human behavior meet. Drop me into a new discipline, culture, or challenge I'll figure it out fast. Across every context, I bring the same things: curiosity, rigor, and a self-starter's refusal to wait for permission.
