Lily Zhou is a
creative developer
based in Berlin

Hi, I’m Lily. I create award-winning 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.

I’m currently a developer at Ableton. ♫
