About Me

I'm Xinran (Joy) Yao, a Product Designer based in Seattle. Most recently at Microsoft, I designed workflows for an enterprise AI workforce platform, working with engineers to bring interactions from concepts into the frontend. Previously at Samsung, I designed data quality management and enterprise workflows.

Currently pursuing an M.S. in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, where I earned my B.Des. in Interaction Design.

Having lived in Chile, China, Canada, and the United States, I bring a cross-cultural perspective to projects.
