Cynthia Cui is a researcher, designer and (kind of a) morning person living in Vancouver, working on crafting beautiful experiences and interfaces. Periodically, Cynthia dabbles in producing her own monthly recap videos. She also keeps her graphic design skills fresh by creating cover art for her playlists.

Cynthia finds influence from the poetics of the web, books, interior design, and music with good bass lines. Her passion for product design comes from the motivation to create honest and meaningful products that improve the human experience and is informed by and centred upon the intricacies of marginalised experiences in our digital world.

Currently, she is wrapping up her M.A. at Simon Fraser University's School of Interactive Arts & Technology and redefining the booking and homepage experience for Curiko.

She is available for 2024 new grad UX design or curatorial positions.
