Tiange is a product design leader and design engineer whose first language is making. She creates products that ground frontier technology in timeless human needs.
I bridge design, code, and strategy.
My work bridges interaction design, code-based prototyping, and product vision to shape how people interact with robotics, agentic AI, and other intelligent systems across digital and physical environments.
I lead cross-functional teams with a maker-oriented, hands-on approach that brings together UX, product design strategy, and design engineering.
I love building things for others.
I’m drawn to moments when a new technology is powerful but not yet legible. Currently I work at IDEO on AI-native products and experiences.
Everday I'm driven to turn complex problems into delightful user experiences and help teams move from uncertain capability to something people can understand, trust, and use.
I lead through craft.
I’ve led teams of 3 to 30 designers, engineers and researchers across disciplines and product pillars, but my strongest leadership tool is still craft.
I help teams find rigor, coherence, and system beauty in the work itself, using prototypes, interaction details, and clear design logic to make better decisions together.
I learn by making.
In my spare time I use personal projects to explore ideas before they have a category.
I make software, games, data experiences, food experiments, and multimedia work as a way to think through new mediums and technology. Recent projects include Tour de Play, Tastemaxxing 13k, GooGooGo, Incarnation, and DataWagashi.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me feeding geese, playing Two Dots, or building my ideas.
