Hi, I’m Yujia. Product designer & leader.

I’ve spent 15+ years designing data-dense enterprise software. Now I’m defining how AI reads users’ intent and builds on their behalf, in ways they can verify and trust.

Recent focuses include agentic onboarding, 0→1 UX architecture, platform features and patterns that include asset management, automation, collaboration, etc.
