Hi, I'm Zhifan Guo (郭 芝帆). 👋
I graduated from the Master of Industrial Design (MID) program at Georgia Tech in 2024. Previously I completed my undergraduate study in Beijing Insitute of Technology majoring in Industrial Design.
I enjoy exploring poetic and meaningful connections with the phisical world by redesigning the materiality of everyday objects. I am passionate to explore tangible interactions that support human curiosity, creativity, and sustainable practices, ultimately enhancing personal well-being and fostering reflections on the human experience.
