About / Nanxi Qu

Curious about people.
Always making something.

I’m a product and experience designer based in New York, working across AI, learning, and visual design.

I grew up between China and Dubai before moving to New York. My path from fashion and visual storytelling at FIT to learning science and experience design at NYU shapes how I work: pay attention to people, make ideas tangible, and keep learning through what you build.

Where I’m coming from

At NYU, I study Learning Technology and Experience Design, connecting how people learn with how products work.

Before that, I studied Fashion Design and Fabric Styling at FIT. That foundation in color, composition, and material still informs my approach to digital experiences.

A little more of my world.

Community, music, good company, and any excuse to get outside.
