Summary
Mary Huang is a multidisciplinary product designer and adjunct professor with 14 years of experience crafting human-centered digital and physical experiences at the intersection of interaction design, spatial UI, and emerging tech. She’s shipped UX for VR/AR and virtual production at Industrial Light & Magic, led mobile ML+AR field work to accelerate rainforest data collection at Earthshot Labs, and helped launch experimental 3D apparel tooling at Amazon and Continuum Fashion. A founder who builds the products she wishes existed, Mary moves fluidly between prototyping in Unity, defining design systems, and running field tests that validated 10x improvements over traditional methods. She teaches design practice while founding Rhyme & Reason, reflecting a blend of academic rigor and startup hands-on execution in the San Francisco Bay Area. Notably, her work often bridges physical and digital workflows—3D-printed textiles to novel appliance interfaces—demonstrating a rare fluency in both craft and technical integration.
