About Maya Yenlin Cheng
I design at the intersection of structural rigor and digital agility. Grounded in a foundation of architectural design, I view software as a living ecosystem where human intuition, data-driven insights, and AI-enhanced workflows converge.I specialize in architecting mobile-first experiences and high-velocity systems from the ground up. My expertise lies in evolving web-centric corporate guidelines into native, platform-centric design systems, creating adaptive frameworks that reconcile native performance with brand integrity. This approach is rooted in a rigorous partnership with Data and Research teams—synthesizing qualitative user patterns and quantitative evidence into actionable product strategy.From leading AR and machine learning initiatives to navigating the rapid MVP cycles of high-growth startups, I bridge the gap between emerging tech and scalable enterprise solutions. I am a strategic partner who aligns cross-functional stakeholders, advocates for the user, and orchestrates the design of complex, multi-modal software environments.
