Hi I'm Ruohan Li👋
I'm Ruohan Li, and I'm currently a first-year HCDE student at UW.
Outside of design, I’m a photographer and vlogger, a storyteller who loves capturing the small, quiet moments that reveal how people interact with the world — the same curiosity that drives my approach to design.


🎨 My Design Philosophy
My design approach is grounded in understanding people before designing for them. I begin by exploring how users think, behave, and make decisions within real contexts. These insights help me frame the right problems before moving into ideation and prototyping. I believe effective design emerges from the intersection of research, systems thinking, and storytelling, from translating complex user needs into clear, intuitive experiences. Throughout the process, I work iteratively, collaborating closely with product managers and engineers to test ideas early and refine them through feedback. My goal is to create thoughtful, human-centered solutions that not only function well but also empower users and make complex technologies feel understandable and approachable.
