Katherine Yang

I’m a Cornell student studying Information Science and Art History. I’m interested in how design, technology, and visual culture come together, and I use this site to share the projects I’ve built across web design, motion, photography, and documentary work.

About

WORKING ACROSS ART, DESIGN, AND TECHNOLOGY

Katherine Yang is a Cornell Information Science student who blends code, visuals, and culture to tell human-centered digital stories, from web experiences to motion and I’m Katherine, a multidisciplinary designer and creator at Cornell. My background combines Information Science, Art History, and hands-on experience in web development, motion design, photography, and student communications.

I enjoy moving between technical and creative work. Some projects begin with code, others with a camera, a sketch, or a conversation. What connects them is my interest in making ideas clear, visually engaging, and useful to real people.

A high-end smartphone resting on a linen-covered table, its screen mid-animation within an interactive story app: vertical panels sliding elegantly, subtle parallax effects suggesting depth, and tasteful icons indicating audio and motion. Nearby, an open linen-bound notebook shows precisely drawn interface sketches, and a slim metal ruler lies parallel to the phone, hinting at exacting UX design. Gentle morning light from the right creates soft highlights on the phone’s glass and faint shadows in the linen texture. Photographed from a slightly elevated angle with a medium depth of field, the image has a calm, modern aesthetic, emphasizing mobile-first digital storytelling rooted in meticulous, sophisticated design.
