About
About
Hi, I'm Yuansi (元思). A generalist UX Designer with 5 years of experience in consumer products and design systems. With a background in industrial design and anthropology, I bring a unique blend of craft, systems thinking, and deep empathy to create inclusive, user-centered experiences that are both thoughtful and impactful.
What sets me apart isn’t just what I do, but why I do it: I care deeply about people—both users and collaborators—and I’m driven to create experiences that empower them and set them up for success.
