Tia Gao
— a Learning Designer and Illustrator.
With extensive experience in education innovation and digital product design, I bridge pedagogical architecture with visual storytelling. I specialize in designing structured learning systems, engaging curricula, and interactive educational software — work that has been recognized with two Red Dot Design Awards and an Indigo Design Award (Silver).
Parallel to my design practice, visual art is at the core of my creative expression. Versatile in styles ranging from realistic rendering to flat digital illustration, my artwork has earned a MUSE Creative Gold Award, a NY Production Awards Silver, and an IDA nomination.
I believe that impactful design lives at the intersection of clarity and emotion. Whether building an interactive learning experience or crafting a visual narrative, my goal is to deliver intuitive, aesthetically refined, and human-centered solutions.
