Hi, I'm Jiawen Yao (姚 佳雯)
​​​​
​
I am an interaction designer and HCI researcher. My interests lie in exploring the space between the physical and digital world. I'm fascinated by how physical experiences can enhance people's lives. I'm currently a PhD student at Axlab advised by Prof. Ken Nakagaki. Previously I studied product and interaction design in Germany and China.
​
​
​I believe that the machines and products around us should be seen as extensions of our bodies and minds, rather than the reverse.
