Yue Hu

MFA design & technology
Yue Hu (Nadia) is an interdisciplinary artist and interaction designer who builds emotionally driven worlds through creature design, narrative, and interactive experience. She is also the creator of Moonling, a personal collectible creature brand centered around emotional storytelling, fantasy, and playful companionship. Her work explores memory, attachment, and the quiet bonds people form with fictional beings, combining digital media, handcraft, and AI-assisted processes to create dreamlike systems where audiences can project their emotions and identities. Inspired by childhood imagination and the blurred line between the digital and physical world, she creates experiences that feel intimate, magical, and emotionally alive.
