Hi, I’m Dora Duo

Product designer based in Chicago. Born and raised in China, my journalism and communication background taught me to always stay curious and empathetic about the world.

I have worked on projects of various size and complexity. I love the process of translating complexity into simplistic and intuitive solutions.

Outside of designing, I enjoy anything crafty and creative, whether it's cooking, painting, amateur woodworking or renovating my home.

I’m always down for a conversation – about UX design or recipe sharing or DIY projects. Shoot me an email!

Aspiring Home Chef.

Food Explorer.

I enjoy everything about cooking(well, maybe not doing dishes). The love and sharing, the sensational satisfaction, the preciseness and beauty in technique, even the time management, all these things attract me and keep me wondering in the fascinating food world.

Passionate DIYer.

Amateur Woodworker.

I’m never afraid of getting my hands dirty. In fact, I find it quite therapeutic. To me, DIY is a way to practice design thinking in the physical world, where the user is myself. I love projects that combine functionality and aesthetics. My favorite recent project is the kitchen renovation.
