Hi! 嗨! ᠰᠠᡳ᠌ᠨ ᡠᠴᠠᡵᠠᠮᠪᡳ ᠰᡠᠸᡝ! My name is Rongyu. I’m a Chinese Manchu industrial designer with a background in transportation design, currently based in San Francisco, California.

Design isn't just a profession for me - it's a passion that drives me to explore the unknown, challenge the status quo, and push the boundaries of innovation. My goal is to harness my creativity and embrace the uncertainties of the future, using design as a force for making positive impacts in the world.

As a research-led designer, I have extensive experience in advanced concept design, experience/service design, prototype development, and technology development projects in R&D environments or during concept development stages. During my time at Amazon Lab 126, I had the opportunity to delve into uncharted territories and collaborate with technology teams on various research projects that brought some truly mesmerizing technologies, services, and designs to life.

In addition, I’m a  multipotentialite who love exploring new frontiers and getting out of my comfort zone. I'm always up for a good mind-bending challenge. In the future, I hope to collaborate with you to create better things for the betterment of human life.


Please don’t hesitate to ping me on email or LinkedIn!
Let's design a better future! 😀️

Independent Project


O- Mask Fitter
Role: Research, Ideation, 2D/ 3D Visualization, Industrial Design

A 2-week reaction project to COVID-19. Unclean hands touching the nose, mouth, and eyes and aerosols propagate the infection. It works with regular masks, provides a better fit and seal, and is pleasant for long wear. A sensor on the frame's nasal bridge alerts the wearer if they touch their face with a dirty hand.
