Sonya He

[FIRST GLANCE]

Hi! I'm Sonya, a graphic designer at Carnegie Mellon University studying Design + Human-Computer interaction.

[IN THE STUDIO]

I'm a storyteller at heart, interested in how meaningful stories can bring people closer together. In my work, I build visual systems that help us learn more about one another, whether that's through brand identities, interfaces, motion graphics, or illustration.

[OUTSIDE THE STUDIO]

I'm an avid learner and observer. Outside of design, I love watching nature/animal documentaries, sketching outside, or going down sci-fi film rabbit holes. That curiosity for the world carries into how I design: thoughtfully and with love.

[& BEYOND]

To me, design is a lifelong practice. I hope to continuously grow my craft and ideas over time through staying open to changing how I think or make.

Currently, I'm:

Co-heading brand + print design @ Lunar Gala 2026, the largest fashion show in Pennsylvania

Illustrating @ NerveNet, a neural engineering ed-tech startup

Looking for spring/summer 2026 work opportunities! Feel free to reach out, or just hit me up to chat about any cool ideas + grab a sweet drink :]
