Jiahui Yu & Yixuan Song are dedicated UX Designers with a shared curiosity for understanding user motivations and creating meaningful interactions. With a diverse background spanning healthcare to e-commerce, Jiahui focuses on uncovering the ‘why’ behind user needs, while Yixuan blends her psychology expertise with design to craft engaging experiences at Google, both committed to advancing impactful design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jiahui: My name is Jiahui, and I\u2019m a UX Designer with four years of experience. I love exploring different industries, and I\u2019ve worked on projects ranging from healthcare and education to back-end management, live streaming, and e-commerce. Tackling diverse fields allows me to understand varied user needs and motivations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m passionate about observing the details around me and delving into the \u2018why\u2019 behind them. Like why ketchup bottles are design with caps on the bottom or why ticket stubs are necessary on public transport. This curiosity drives me to approach design from a critical, inquisitive perspective. Always looking for deeper insights that enhance the user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yixuan: Fueled by an early love for creativity and curiosity. I combine my background in psychology with my passion for design to craft user experiences that resonate deeply. From exploring why objects are design the way they are to pursue a Master\u2019s in Information Science at Cornell. I\u2019ve dedicated my journey to blending art and psychology in impactful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now a UX Designer at Google, I aim to create designs that are visually appealing, functional. And emotionally engaging, with aspirations to mentor future designers and push the boundaries of design innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jiahui: I chose to become a UX designer because I\u2019m passionate about connecting with people through thoughtful design and addressing real-world issues. With a natural curiosity about the world, I\u2019m drawn to the challenge of understanding users on a deeper level. And finding creative solutions that truly resonate with their needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always believed that design is a powerful tool to simplify complex problems and improve lives in meaningful ways. The opportunity to work across various fields. And explore diverse perspectives keeps me motivated, as each project lets me question assumptions, learn. And create tangible impact that contributes to a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yixuan: Ever since I was a child, I’ve been utterly captivated by the magical world of cartoons and comic books. They weren’t just stories or drawings to me. They were windows into a universe where anything was possible, where colors spoke louder than words. And where the underdog could always save the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My journey into design began with countless childhood hours spent sketching my favorite characters and creating new ones. Capturing their adventures on paper. One memory stands out: at eight years old, I drew my dog as a superhero, complete with a cape and goggles. My mom\u2019s joy and her decision to hang it on the fridge ignited something in me. A desire to connect with others through my creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, this passion evolved into a deeper appreciation for design as a powerful tool to inspire, communicate, and bring a bit of magic into everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
