Yihui Hu

Concept

This personal site centers the work and identity of Yihui Hu, who is both a designer and a software engineer based in New York City with roots in Singapore. It functions as a portfolio and professional hub that brings together his design thinking and engineering practice. The site frames his dual practice so visitors can understand both roles in context.

Visual Language & Motion

The visual language supports presentation of projects and professional background, using imagery and typographic choices to communicate craft and intent. Motion and interaction appear to be employed to guide attention and clarify transitions between content. These elements work together to keep the focus on work and process.

UX & Performance

The site is organized to make key information—projects, role, and background—accessible to visitors seeking to learn about his practice. Content hierarchy and clear labeling help communicate his dual expertise without conflating roles. The overall experience foregrounds content and context over ornamental complexity.

Takeaway

Yihui Hu’s site acts as a concise, professional portrait of a practitioner who bridges design and engineering. It highlights a cross-disciplinary practice rooted in an international background and now based in NYC. The site’s primary strength is in presenting that combined identity clearly to potential collaborators and employers.
