Yingxiao Ouyang is a product designer and manager at Mastercard. Leading the creation of intuitive, data-driven tools for the finance industry. With six years of experience and a passion for transforming complex problems into impactful solutions. Yingxiao blends strategic planning and creativity to design products that truly meet user needs while pushing the boundaries of innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

My name is Yingxiao Ouyang, a product designer with 6 years of experience. Creating simple, intuitive and actionable experiences for digital data products. Currently, I am a product design manager at Mastercard, where I lead the design of three flagship finance products. Helping to equip the finance industry with advanced data analytics tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously I spent 3 years in Walmart Supply Chain team. Leading the design of warehouse applications to help warehouse associates make data-driven decisions. I graduated from Georgia Tech MSHCI and Industrial Design program with a focus on Human-centered design. My core expertise relies in turning complex requirements into simple, user-friendly and impactful solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design challenges the status quo by delivering what people truly needs. I enjoy building creative solutions, understanding people\u2019s struggles and strategically planning ahead. While the process can be demanding, the reward of seeing things come together makes it all worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It pushes my limits, requiring both deep expertise and creative thinking to understand what people needs and what products our team can build. Even a small success in this field can fuel my passion and motivate me to continue exploring and innovating in design!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I am building data products for Mastercard Services or targeting multiple personas like Destination Marketing Officers, Retailer Executives, and small merchant owners. My goal is to simplify their digital experience by helping them understand data, explore insights, and leverage data to solve complex business challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my current role, I need to collaborate closely with product managers and development teams to address customer pain points and prioritize solutions. I create mockups for the product team to map out execution details and enhance the overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design is a process that focuses on finding the next growth opportunity from the users\u2019 perspective. It allows our team to tailor advanced data and analytics technology to meet users\u2019 needs, rather than simply build what is possible. Through mockups and prototypes, all stakeholders can experience their products through the users\u2019 point of view. By elevating the service, the product team increases their chance of winning more customers and driving greater revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
