Hey there! I'm Yiliu.
I'm a designer and coder. I build software that helps people be better thinkers and makers.
I currently ship products through my startup, Softspace. From 2018–2024, I went deep on spatial computing; that effort culminated in an AR productivity app called Spaceframe. Now I’m doing early product work on a user-owned AI memory bank.
Previously: I was a research resident at an artist studio; an architecture grad student; an analyst at an investment bank; and a college econometrics major.
I create out of a love for making beautiful things that elevate those who use them. You’ll find a selection of my work and writing below.
If my work resonates with you, get in touch! I’d love to hear from you.
