Liying Huang

As a creative and passionate individual, I have always been fascinated by the power of design to shape the world around us. My experience and skills in product design, fabrication, and digital tools have allowed me to bring my creative visions to life and make meaningful contributions to various projects.

I have gained valuable hands-on experience through my roles as a Fabrication Studios Student Technician at Maryland Institute College of Art, where I have been responsible for troubleshooting equipment and software issues and supporting students with wood shop machinery such as laser cutting, 3D printing, and CNC milling. I have also worked as a Fashion Intern at Different Regard, where I have honed my skills in sewing, pattern cutting, and interfacing, while assisting with pattern making for custom pieces.

I am currently pursuing a BFA in Product Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, with an expected graduation in May 2024. Throughout my academic journey, I have been recognized for my excellence and have been listed on the Dean's List multiple times, including in Fall 2019, Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Fall 2021, and Spring 2022. I am also currently completing a course in Manufacturing Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, which has further enriched my understanding of the design process and its practical applications.
