noteworthy
Hello! My name Rio Liu, and I am a graduate student at Harvard University, cross-registered at MIT, specializing in educational technology innovation and product experience design. Over the past eight years, from high school in Los Angelas through graduate studies, my journey has enriched me with a diverse perspective, innovative thinking, and the ability to collaborate closely with individuals from varied backgrounds.
My professional experience spans extensive internships and projects in product experience design and interaction design, covering initial concept development to refined product design. Notable projects include designing online platforms for a New York film startup and optimizing features for Apple Fitness.
Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I am passionate about reading, cinema, writing, and sports. I published a collection of personal articles titled "Dreams, As I Promised" at age 19. Additionally, a film I wrote and directed in high school, "I MISS U SO BAD", was awarded the"Best Narrative Film" that year. I continue to share my writings on my personal blog "cornfield chaser" and have maintained a commitment to fitness for over three years, inspiring those around me to embrace healthy lifestyles.
I am eager to apply my skills and qualities in a role that challenges me and allows me to contribute to innovative and impactful projects.
