Portrait of Lexi Cao
Lexi Cao · Yuqing Cao

Interactive media designer and animator, building worlds that connect with people.

I'm Lexi Cao (Yuqing Cao), a senior in Animation and Interactive Media at Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University, graduating in 2027. My practice spans interactive media design, animation, storytelling and creative coding.

This semester I'm taking Generative AI Workflow for Media, where I'm exploring how generative tools change the way media is made, documented and experienced. This site is the archive for that process.

I work across Maya, Blender, Photoshop, After Effects, Figma, Processing and p5.js, with a focus on emotional connection between audiences and the worlds I build.
