👋 Hello
👋 Hi
I’m Senyan Luo. I thrive on projects with ambiguity, where you have to be resourceful and think quick on your feet. Try, test, learn, repeat.
At Art of the Cart, I led a range of D2C, B2C, and B2B projects for clients across e-commerce, AI, and public education. My notable work includes Parfait, Winrate, Valley Vet Supply, ShopFront Design System, Phil & Sebastian Coffee, trüfrü, Bero, Wander Teach, and Pool Goods.
When I’m not designing, I’m usually out city-walking. I pick up inspiration from the space I'm in: the buildings, the objects I encounter, and the people I quietly observe. Outside of that, playing squash is my main competitive outlet, running by the Hudson keeps me sane, and reading keeps me curious.

This site is designed & built with ❤️ by me in Figma and Framer. Here are some awesome portfolios that have seriously influenced how I built my own. This isn't me endorsing everything about these sites - it's just my way of tipping my hat to the talented folks whose work helped shape my own digital space. Their uniqueness in an increasingly cookie-cutter internet reminded me that personal websites can still be refreshingly individual.
