ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Hi! Im Yutong (Tong) Song, a graduate student in the Brown | RISD Master of Arts in Design Engineering program.

 

I am a multidisciplinary designer (she/they) passionate about blending technology, art, and nature to create meaningful, human-centered experiences. My practice spans products design, UI/UX design, interactive media, AI-driven creativity, and sustainable product systems, always with a focus on inclusivity and ecological impact.

 

Through my projects, I aim to amplify diverse voices, foster emotional connections, and explore design as a tool for positive change in both digital and physical worlds.
