About Yuan

My background is a strong blend of Product Design, UX/UI Design, and Visual Design. I built my foundation in visual design through a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Art & Design (2002–2012), and later developed deep expertise in product design through 10 years of industry experience as a design professional across multiple domains.I began my career as a UI designer, gradually expanding into broader UX responsibilities, and eventually growing into the Product Design field—where I now take ownership of the entire product lifecycle. I enjoy being hands-on at every stage of the design process and am driven by a passion for exploring new domains. These experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded designer with an entrepreneurial mindset and strong technical and creative skills.In my current role, I serve as the founding product designer, helping my company build products and design systems from the ground up.
