Chengcheng Hou
( Mitchell )



Chengcheng Hou, is an interdisciplinary designer and visual artist working at the nexus of digital health, user experience, and urban storytelling. His practice spans the realms of product design, typographic experimentation, and documentary photography, weaving together form, function, and narrative to create evocative, human-centered experiences.

As the lead product designer at Tia, he architects digital systems that redefine healthcare interactions, translating clinical complexity into seamless, intuitive interfaces. His work on Tia’s first web-based EMR system has transformed provider workflows—minimizing friction, automating care coordination, and expanding patient access.

Parallel to his work in digital design, Chengcheng engages with print and photography as a medium for spatial and cultural documentation. His work in risograph printing and type design further extends his exploration of ephemerality, layering textures, typography, and archival fragments to construct visual narratives that straddle past and present.
Chengcheng’s work has been featured in publications, design forums, and academic institutions, including a speaking engagement at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), where he shared insights on crafting portfolios and navigating the evolving design industry. His practice is an evolving inquiry into how design mediates human experience—whether through the ergonomics of a clinical interface or the patina of a city in flux.
