About

Hi, I'm Yuansi (元思). A generalist UX Designer with a background in Industrial Design & Anthropology.

What sets me apart isn't what I do, but why I do: I care about people –my users and my collaborators– and it means the world to me to create experiences that set them up for success and make them feel empowered.
