Lily Zhou is a
creative developer
based in Berlin

Hi, I’m Lily. I’m currently a developer at Ableton. ♫

I specialise in crafting digital experiences with an emphasis on engaging interactivity, refined design, and accessibility.

Over the years, I’ve worked on projects ranging from immersive storytelling experiences and browser games to e-commerce stores and corporate websites. My background is in multidisciplinary design and media art — creative coding, projection mapping, a/v art — and I’ve been making things on the Internet since the early ’00s.
