Lilly Nguyen


I’m a product designer based in New York with a passion for working at the intersection of design, art, and technology. I’m currently the Design Fellow at the Yale University Center for Engineering Innovation and Design, where I manage the studios and labs as a technical expert in fabrication and design.

On the side, I’m the Director of Photography at Sound of Boston—a publication dedicated to supporting Boston’s vibrant local music scene. In my free time, you can find me shooting live music, printing risograph illustrations, or sketching furniture concepts.
