Cynthia is a design/er (engineer) working in product and web design, specializing in building impactful interfaces that make people's lives easier and more fulfilling.

She is currently one of two founding designers at Asian Indigenous Relations (AIR), a collective creating conversations around the complicated histories of Vancouver. She is open to full time roles.

On the side, she studies Japanese (初めまして!) and uses literature and movement to inspire her practice. She also spends too much time on Are.na falling down rabbit holes.

Have a good Friday.

Always happy to talk — cyn.cui@icloud.com.
