Hi there, I’m May (泽璇)! an Artist, Designer, and Ceramicist

I’m a sophomore at Cornell University majoring in Information Science and minoring in Fine Art.

I draw on my fine art background to balance creativity with functionality, combining artistic intuition with user-centered design. Each project is an exploration of how aesthetics and usability can work together to tell a story, solve a problem, or spark connection.

Raised in Shanghai, I was surrounded by artistry and cultural heritage from an early age. Later, moving to California inspired me to combine those roots with modern design approaches. These experiences taught me the value of precision, care, and the joy of creating something tangible—values that continue to guide my work as I build a bridge between art and design.
