My Design Journey
Siemens
Product Design Intern
Jul 2025 -Sep 2025
Full time
As the sole designer, I built an enterprise data platform (X-DataHub) from 0 to 1—my largest-scope project to date. I learned to use design to abstract complexity, visualize logic, and support decision-making in a highly technical system, while taking on 40% of PM responsibilities.

The Museum of Flight
Product Designer
Mar 2025 - Jul 2025
Practicum Sponsor
At the Museum of Flight, I designed an accessible museum app with an AI-powered voice assistant for elderly visitors. I learned how accessibility goes beyond visuals and WCAG. Collaborating with museum staff helped me understand how to design AI features that can address genuine challenges.

AKOOL
Product Design Intern
Mar 2025 - Jul 2025
Full time
At Akool, things moved fast (“new feature every other morning” fast). I learned to listen to users, test ideas quickly, and find clarity in chaos. Despite limited startup resources, I worked closely with PMs and developers to advocate for design value and push UX improvements.

Lanma.ai
Product Design Intern
Jul 2024 - Sep 2024
Full time
Back in 2024, before “AI agents” became everyone’s favorite buzzword, I was lucky enough to design for one. I explored new AI interaction paradigms and thought deeply about making agent intelligence usable, trustworthy, and controllable, especially in complex B2B workflows.

Mobile Now
Product Design Intern
Feb 2024 - Jun 2024
Full time
My first UX internship was at a design agency, a place full of tight deadlines, big clients, and diverse projects. I learned to design both systematically and empathetically, balancing client and user needs. Striving for pixel-perfect delivery turned me into a Figma master, giving me my first taste of design craftsmanship.

University of Washington
MS in Digital Media
Sep 2024 - Mar 2026
Graduate School
Coming to the US and studying at UW has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I fell in love with Seattle’s energy and UW’s beautiful campus. Transitioning from architecture, I’ve been able to systematically learn UI & UX and gained a broader perspective through interdisciplinary projects that connect design and marketing.

Tongji University
BEng in Landscape Architecture
Sep 2020 - Jul 2024
Undergrad
Studying at Tongji’s world-top architecture school was where I first realized design was more than a skill, instead it was my way of seeing the world. In studio after studio, I found joy in solving problems with a design mindset. Many of those architectural instincts naturally evolved into the way I now design digital products.

About
Hi, I'm Xiaoyang.
I'm a product designer specializing in transforming complex enterprise data and AI workflows into intuitive, scalable B2B solutions.
My approach is deeply informed by product strategy. I've often been recognized for my strong Product Sense, allowing me to look beyond pixels and effectively bridge the gap between user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
I believe great design is the perfect intersection of aesthetics, strategy, and engineering feasibility.

Design Philosophy
For me, design is play.
Being a Product Designer feels like the perfect “impossible triangle” — it connects what I’m good at, what I love, and a career path full of growth and possibility.
My approach to design is deeply shaped by a personal philosophy that echoes Naval Ravikant’s belief in finding work that feels like play. It’s this mindset that keeps me curious, creative, and driven every day.
Through four internships and countless explorations, I’ve learned to turn complex challenges into experiences that are simple, meaningful, and strategically impactful.
“I’m always ‘working.’ It looks like work to others, but it feels like play to me. And that’s how I know no one can compete with me on it. Because I’m just playing, for sixteen hours a day. ”
——Naval Ravikant

From Spaces to Systems
I studied architecture before stepping into digital product design.
That training taught me to think in systems : how people move, feel, and make decisions within a space. The scale changed from city blocks to pixels, but the core remained constant: Human-centered scale, System orchestration, Context-driven storytelling……
Today, I apply the same thinking to digital products, transforming abstract operations into intuitive, human-friendly digital environments.

Beyond Design
I’m an avid theatre lover and reviewer, writing about plays, musicals, and dance on Chinese social media. I also explore street photography, capturing stories and moments worth remembering on my dedicated Instagram account. Hiking and discovering new places help me stay grounded and inspired.
