Hi, I'm Yan (Wendy)!

I am a product designer based in NYC who is open to new opportunities. 

My Background

After realizing my desire to do more creative yet still meaningful work, I made a career switch from healthcare to UX design in 2021 due to its problem-solving, creativity, and user-centric approach. Being able to create meaningful, useful products through the lens of an empathetic, human-centric approach and adapting to ever-changing industry trends motivates me to continue learning design.

I can contribute as…

  • a logical and critical thinker who is mindful of the balance in desirability, feasibility, and viability of a product

  • an open-minded team player who is able to receive and give constructive feedback in a positive manner 

  • a curious, compassionate, and detail-oriented designer who advocates for users

I am skilled in…

  • delivering multiple layers of fidelity (sketches, wireframes, prototypes, high-fidelity designs)

  • translating research insights into design opportunities and making informed design decisions 

  • putting myself in the shoes of users to acknowledge and understand their pain points 

I love to...

  • take pictures of nature, especially of the sky 

  • try the infinite amount of restaurants and cuisines available in the mixing pot that is NYC

  • practice new hobbies! (currently learning the ukulele)

  • singing along to songs during karaoke or car rides
