The Hu, What, When, where?

Hi! I'm Lily Hu, a designer from San Diego. For two years, I helped founders and engineers give shape to their abstract ideas, making the intangible a bit more real.

In 2023, I helped my sister open and run Tiny Tiger, an indoor playground, which was equal parts humbling and chaotic. I learned to hustle, adapt quickly, and stay scrappy since things never go as planned.
