Annie Xing is a multidisciplinary designer at Harvard GSD and a Visiting Researcher at the MIT Media Lab. With a dual background in fashion design and economics, she combines aesthetic intuition with quantitative reasoning, working at the intersection of materials, computation, and interaction. Her work focuses on interactive wearables and embodied systems that integrate parametric design, bio-robotic fabrication, and physiological computing. Her recent piece, "Superposition," an interactive wearable inspired by quantum phenomena, was showcased at London Fashion Week 2024. Annie seeks to redefine technical aesthetics, merging poetic, body-centered design with computational engineering and material intelligence.
