Hi I'm Tia Liu
Based in Seattle, I'm a designer and product strategist with a hybrid background in crafting user-centered experiences and driving growth initiatives. Over 5+ years, I've shaped scalable products across digital and physical realms, blending intuitive interfaces with strategic roadmaps to help teams launch features that connect people and solve real-world problems on a global scale. Currently exploring ways to blend motion, interaction, and data-driven decisions in consumer tech.
I’m a product maker with 5+ years of experience and a background in HCI & Design. I’ve worked across B2C products in social, AI, and research-driven tools, always making decisions with people and data in mind.
The kinds of things I build…
Previously, I worked at Microsoft Research⤴︎ for a LLM evaluation tools under responsible AI. I was the founding designer of the 0→1 product Pi Travel⤴︎ , where I shaped core workflows and early user growth. I also worked on B2C social feature at Rednote⤴︎ , designing experiences that reached millions of users.

How I got here…
I host a Master of Human-Computer Interaction⤴︎ at the University of Washington, where my teammate and I received the HCII Student Design Award for our EdTech project in 2025.
Before that, I earned a BFA in Architecture Design at SAIC and designed physical spaces and renovation projects. That training still influences how I approach systems and structure.
