Introduction:
Hi, my name is Hejie Liu. I am an interdisciplinary designer with a background in Economics and Studio Art, ****currently exploring interactive games and narrative-driven experiences. My academic training in economics helps shaping how I think about systems, constraints, and long-term consequences, while my artistic practice focuses on character, atmosphere, and emotional storytelling.
I am particularly interested in using games and interactive media to explore social structures and human experience, such as gender roles, and cultural identity. I also believe that well-designed interactive virtual experiences can positively support mental well-being and bring encouragement and positive energy into real life.
