Hi, I'm Yi-ning
As a multidisciplinary designer, I’ve helped companies in different industries face future challenges and navigate complexities through human-centered design, systems thinking, and cross-functional teamwork. My approach to design is based on design thinking and creativity. I believe design is more than aesthetics. It is about crafting meaningful and comprehensive solutions that create impacts. To do so, I specialize in UX Research & Design, Interaction Design, Service Design, and User Testing.
