Design is not a thing you do. It's a way of life.

About me

Yanfei Zhao

Product Designer

Graphic Designer

My Design Experience: 3 years

My Background:

  • UX Research
  • UI Design
  • Information Architecture
  • Data Visualization
  • Graphic Design

Growing up in a pet-loving family, I've always enjoyed taking pictures containing stories based on my imagination. Having been influenced by my grandparents, a calligrapher and an art teacher, I studied painting sketching, and gouache for a couple of years, then started learning graphic design to create my art world in a contemporary way. I also like to express my opinions on politics and traditional art by designing posters, for which I received many international awards. Likewise, while pursuing my Master's degree in graphic design with more and more interactions with digital products, I was intensely passionate about improving the unexpected user experience.

Therefore, I switched my career to UXR and Design to build reasonable and dependable products through comprehensive research and polished interface design to provide an excellent experience for end-to-end users.

My strengths in UX Research & Design include information architecture, qualitative data visualization, and a strong empathy with users. My availability starts on January 23rd for full-time employment. Feel free to check out my RESUME 👇or shoot me an EMAIL whether for work inquiries or to just say hi~ I'm always happy to chat 😊
