The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Bingqing Yi is a London-trained designer specialising in conceptual footwear design. After completing her BA at London College of Fashion, she obtained her MA in Footwear Design from the Royal College of Art in 2019. Her design approach blends sculptural aesthetics with experimental forms, exploring the body-object relationship through material narratives and spatial tension. Currently, she is a PhD student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where her research investigates psychological mechanisms within human-computer interaction, integrating artistic thinking into digital experience design. Her work has been showcased internationally, reflecting a strong presence in both design and art contexts. Selected exhibitions and accolades include the ITS Academy – Fashionlands: Clothes Beyond Borders (Italy, 2025), FUNG Innovative Art & Design Award (China, 2024), GRASSI MESSE Exhibition at the Leipzig Museum of Applied Arts (Germany, 2019), and the ALL AT ONCE Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts (UK, 2019).
