About Me
Hello! My name is Yiner Xu. ☺
Visual Designer * Illustrator * Design Technologist
Instagram | Linkedin | Resume
My creative practice lies in the intersection of sound and color, creating immersive media through the lens of synesthesia in connections of senses and perceptions. In my creative journey, I have developed keen understanding in audio-visual experience design, interactive storytelling, and digital communication in the field of new media.
My illustration explores the theme of nature in scientific, narrative, and surrealistic aspects, combining bright colors and detailed textures.
I am passionate about seeking out new ideas and experiences, constantly learning to inspire my design practices and expand my creative fields.
My works have been exhibited at Sowa Gallery, Boston Cyberarts Gallery, Tower West Gallery, Frances Euphemia Thompson Gallery, Brookline Public Library, and have been selected in the MassArt Auction. I also contributed visual projection, media and lighting design to performances at MIT Theater Arts and Media Lab.

Thank you for visiting my world! :)

A Dream Like a Dream
如夢之夢 is a reimagined production of Stan Lai’s renowned play, directed by Jay Scheib at MIT Theater Arts, designed as an immersive, experiential performance. The project transforms the theatrical space through a 360-degree circular video environment that surrounds the audience. Live cameras capture performers in real time, generating continuous live projections . The layered visuals create a dreamlike atmosphere where memory and identity fragment wrapping around the stories. The production expands theatrical storytelling into a multi-media participatory experience.
