Jingjing Ji

I build things at the edge of systems, memory, and feeling.

I'm a developer and designer who enjoys turning technical ideas into experiences people can actually feel. I’m interested not only in what systems generate, but in what people remember, imagine, or carry away from those generations.

This is where I keep my projects, experiments, and a few thoughts along the way.

Part portfolio. Part playground. Part organized curiosity.

I keep a second space for the things that don't fit neatly here. Design tangents, working notes, unfinished threads. It's probably a more honest picture of how I actually think.
