Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Ruizhi Liu (pronounced: r-way•dr-er  l-yo). I am an Experience Design leader based in Houston, TX.

Currently, I am leading a team of talented designers at a Fortune 500 corporation in the insurance industry. Earlier in my career, I had the honor of working with major organizations in the Arts, Entertainment, eCommerce, Professional Association, and Healthcare industries.

As I progress in my career as a design leader, I developed a passion for DesignOps, especially for its role in standardizing design processes and scaling design teams.

If you are interested in learning more about my work, design processes, and leadership philosophies, please feel free to get in touch with me at mrliu88@gmail.com.

In the meantime, if you are curious about what I am like as a person, please scroll down for some clues!

I love music! I played the violin in the student symphony orchestra throughout my undergrad and graduate studies.

I am an Aviation Geek. Sometimes long-haul flights bring me more excitement than the destinations themselves. ORD-PEK is my most frequent route.

I once had a perm in college when it was popular among my peers. I can’t find a picture, but this looks pretty close.

My hometown is Harbin, north of the wall (the Great Wall). Winter in Chicago is a piece of cake by comparison.

I love learning new languages. I am fluent in Mandarin and English, and working to add German to that list.

Since I was a kid, I always wanted to dance. I am finally taking ballet lessons as an adult. Currently, I am working on my double pirouette.
