Hi, I’m Jiayi Miao (ANN). I’m a design-focused interior designer with hands-on experience in hospitality and retail environments, plus a strong track record in exhibition design and academic projects. I love turning ideas into tactile spaces that people enjoy moving through and collaborating with clients to deliver spaces that are both visually engaging and practically functional. During my studies at HK PolyU and an exchange at Tongji University, I sharpened skills in AutoCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, Revit, and Grasshopper, balancing aesthetics with performance. I value teamwork and client collaboration to keep projects on time and within budget, and I’m excited to bring energy, curiosity, and a strong design sensibility to future challenges.
