People, objects, and tangible experiences in between.
Hi there! my name’s Tianrui Xie, and I’m a final-year industrial design student based in Atlanta, GA. I believe that each object possesses its own unique story and experience. Without compromising usability, I aim to solve complex problems with timeless, elegant, and simple solutions that can seamlessly adapt to users’ needs.
I prefer to describe my design practice as “inventing” by pushing myself to think about what hasn’t been done before. The infinite unknown possibilities excite me about what is to come next.
Please feel free to send me messages about work, collaboration, or even just chat about design in general so we can shape the future together.
