Hi, I’m Yingying. I’m a Senior User Experience Designer at Amazon Web Services, where I design complex IoT platform experiences. Previously, I designed products in financial services, e-commerce, and recruiting.

I came to UX design with a computer science degree and a growing frustration with poorly designed everyday items. What started as curiosity about “why is this so hard to use?” evolved into a career making complex technology more accessible.

Beyond my professional work, I actively experiment with emerging technologies.

I believe the best designers never stop learning, whether from users, teammates, or trying new things. Recently, I’ve been exploring and understanding GenAI’s capabilities and limitations. I share these experiments and learnings on my blog and with the design community.

Recent experiments:

• Building a visual recognition iPhone app using Claude Code, under 6 hours
• Programming a simple tic-tac-toe game on hardware using Claude, Arduino
• Creating a React app to trace Chinese characters with Cursor, with zero React knowledge

When I’m not designing, I’m spending time with my family and building things with my hands.
