Hi, I’m Yue, a Lead Product Designer with 7+ years of experience building 0→1 products across consumer and B2B applications. Currently at Design League building an AI-driven event marketplace and planning tools that expanded vendor and client base, unlocked new revenue streams, and secured funding.

Before that, I led design for AI-powered UX in startups spanning EdTech, FoodTech, and E-commerce — consistently taking products from concept to launch and driving growth.

With a background in architecture, I bring an eye for detail, systems thinking, and the ability to balance trade-offs in product design. I’ve won multiple awards, including Lighting Magazine’s 40 Under 40 North America.

Outside of work, you’ll find me hiking coastal trails with my family, practicing Pilates, or tending to (too many) plants.
