About Me




Hi! This is Yuan, a data-driven UX designer with experience in B2B AI and interior design. I shaped innovative LLM application experiences with complex workflows at Alibaba Cloud, helped launch 2nd-generation GenAI products at VP Genie. Using product and front-end thinking alongside competitive analysis, I drive rapid product iteration. Before transitioning to UX, I was a design assistant at WNDS, a high-end interior design studio in NYC, translating narratives into beautiful visuals and reality.
