Hi, I’m Louise Yi Lu.
I'm a NYC-based Product Designer who currently works at Palantir Technologies. I graduated from the University of Washington’s Master of Human-Computer Interaction + Design program.
I have 6 years of architectural training, from my bachelor’s at the University of Pennsylvania and pursuing my master’s at Yale University.
I blend my systems-thinking architectural background with service-design principles to create seamless experiences that bridge digital and physical environments. By applying architectural design fundamentals to digital innovation, I develop more empathetic and inclusive solutions that work holistically across both realms.
In my spare time...
I throw myself into other creative mediums, from capturing urban and natural phenomenas through photography to playing with animation softwares, such as Cinema4D, Blender, and Xcode.










I'm passionate about craftsmanship and creating things by hand, both as a hobby and to serve others.
