Yuwen
Wang
Designer working across biodesign, interaction design and wearable technology — exploring how living materials and non-human perspectives can shape more inclusive futures for people and other species.
Selected work
2023 — 2025
SnailScout
A bio-inspired pneumatic soft robot that walks the city according to snails’ spatial preferences, mapping microclimates to inform slow-paced, inclusive urban planning.

KombuGas Glucose Monitor
A speculative wearable system for people with type 1 diabetes, where kombucha fermentation turns sweat glucose into gas that powers a microneedle insulin pump.
View project
MycoStrain Sensor
Carbonised mycelium becomes a wearable variable resistor that senses rotator cuff strain and warns people who train alone before injuries develop.

I design at the meeting point of biology, technology and the body.
My practice combines biomaterial experimentation, soft robotics, flexible electronics and interaction design. I work with living systems — snails, kombucha, mycelium — as collaborators, translating their behaviours into tools for health, care and more inclusive cities.
