Yuansi (元思) means "the first idea" in Chinese. I grew up in Beijing, a historic yet ever-changing city where tens of thousands of stories take place every day. My curiosity and adventurous mind brought me to Seattle, where I fell in love with Design and became a Product Designer, using my superpowers to bring positive impact to people's lives.
As a mid-level UX designer at Dotdash Meredith, I design consumer-facing experiences for iconic brands including People, Allrecipes, Food & Wine, Serious Eats, Investopedia, etc, as well as Design System to improve processes and workflows. I lead design initiatives in a wide variety of projects in areas including AI Design, Design Systems, Responsive Web Design, Design Ethics, UX Research, etc.
When I'm enjoying life, you can find me rock climbing, playing and cuddling with my dogs, making Chinese food, traveling, and trying new things!
How did I become a product designer? That's a loooooong story. But TLDR, my unconventional career path includes Journalism, Archaeology, Photography, Industrial Design, Exhibition Design, XR Design, and 3D Animation. Want to hear more? Let's chat!
