Hi there!
I’m Emily Lau, an experiential designer and creative technologist studying Environments Design at Carnegie Mellon University, with minors in Human-Computer Interaction and Physical Computing.
I create playful, interactive experiences that blend the digital and physical. My work moves between spatial storytelling, branding, and hardware prototyping, and I’m interested in how these different pieces can come together to make an experience more engaging and memorable.

I like working across both concept and execution, and I can make ideas tangible through prototyping and testing when it helps me understand how they might work in context.

When I’m not designing, I’m probably looking for events near me, walking around with my camera, or planning my next trip. ✈︎

My process is hands-on. I like to make ideas tangible early through prototyping and testing, using what I learn to shape the larger spatial experience.
