I’m Tianyi Zhang, a UX/Motion Designer based in Seattle, WA.

My design journey began with a childhood love for animation, inspired by the storytelling magic of Ghibli and Pixar. However, the pandemic shifted my perspective, sparking a passion for using design to create meaningful, real-world impact. Attending UX events in San Gabriel, introduced me to user experience, leading me to pursue Interactive Design at SCAD. After graduating, working as a contract Interaction Designer for Google Maps further refined my skills, perspective, and passion for design.

I’m dedicated to crafting intuitive and engaging digital experiences that seamlessly blend aesthetics with functionality. With a user-centered approach, I design thoughtful solutions that refine interactions, enhance accessibility, and create seamless user flows—all aimed at solving real-world problems.

Beyond design, I’m an aspiring mountaineer (YouTube: SaraVista). Living in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest has fueled my love for the outdoors. I believe in setting ambitious goals and taking small, consistent steps—an approach that shapes both my professional and personal journey.
