Summary
Bei Hu is a multidisciplinary designer and assistant professor in design with a decade of practice spanning human-computer interaction, VR, wearable tech, and immersive storytelling. She combines academic rigor from NYU and CAFA with hands-on product experience—having built UX systems for consumer hardware at Xiaomi and led UI/UX work at startups like Flourish Science. Her teaching and lab roles at Washington University, KCAI, and NYU emphasize human-centered interaction design informed by generative graphics, typography, and coding. Hu’s work crosses museums and international exhibitions and has been recognized by major design awards, yet she’s equally comfortable iterating prototype flows and building component libraries. Notably, she has cultivated cross-cultural design research that aims to create experiences transcending time, space, and language.
