Design Engineer · Designer who codes
DianaDeng
A designer who codes. After years designing products, I now build and ship them end to end — from the first pixel to production.
What I do
One person, the whole stack — from the first sketch to what ships.

Product
From a fuzzy idea to a shipped product. I scope, prototype, and decide what to build and what to cut.

HarmonyName
Chinese names traced back to the exact line of classical poetry they came from — a small tool with a lot of soul.
Beyond the code
The same eye, off-screen.
I think with my hands as much as my head. Outside the editor, the same eye shows up in ink, in pixels, and on stage.
书法 · Brush & Ink
A lifelong practice. Patience, rhythm, and composition — the discipline that quietly shapes how I design.
Visual & Graphic Work
Years of art-directed, portfolio-grade visual design.
