Hi there! I’m Wenxiao Ding, an interactive and game designer based in New York. I specialize in turning the ordinary into the extraordinary—like a trash can chasing its dreams or a rice cooker hiding spy secrets. I believe that even the most mundane objects can tell compelling stories when paired with a dash of creativity and the right technology.

​

​My work sits at the crossroads of logic and emotion. I’m passionate about exploring the psychological and sociological layers behind interactions while using tech to add warmth and depth to human-object connections. After earning my Master’s degree from NYU’s ITP, I’ve dived into creating unconventional projects, from a game where you control a flying trash can with an air pump to a VR experience that takes you through the life of someone living with scleroderma.

If you’re into breaking boundaries with art and design or just curious about how to make a trash can more charismatic, let’s connect. Thanks for stopping by!
