What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can leverage my design expertise to drive innovation and enhance user experiences while fostering a collaborative team environment.

With 17 years of design experience, I have honed my skills in full-stack design leadership, specializing in product experience design, graphic design, and brand innovation across consumer, enterprise, and government sectors. My data-driven methodology has transformed raw metrics into actionable design strategies, significantly increasing product ROI by 25-40% across various projects.

As a team leader, I successfully established a cross-functional design team of over 40 members, aligning talent structure with business objectives. My role as a design competency evaluator for major companies like DiDi and Kuaishou has allowed me to mentor over 10 senior designers, guiding them to advance into expert-level roles. I am passionate about driving measurable improvements in user engagement and conversion rates through strategic design solutions.

My extensive experience in design and team management positions me as a valuable asset in any organization looking to enhance their product design and user experience.
