Summary
Qiuyi Wu is a design technologist with 13 years of experience crafting immersive experiences at the intersection of art, culture, and emerging tech, currently prototyping platform and R&D work at Netflix. She blends UX engineering, AR/VR/MR, creative coding, projection mapping and physical computing to deliver fast, delightful prototypes and installations for clients and cultural institutions. Her background spans leading studio roles at AKQA and Stink Studios, high-profile installations for The Met and international biennales, and ongoing freelance projects that bridge performance and interactive media. Comfortable with tools from Three.js and Unity to TouchDesigner and Ableton, she rapidly translates playful concepts into production-ready demos. Qiuyi’s practice is informed by formal design training from Parsons and RIT and a workshop mindset—she teaches, organizes, and iterates in public—so her work often surfaces unexpected, human-centered moments. An avid dancer with “20 styles of dance,” she brings choreography and embodied interaction into her technical design work.
