Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your creative background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Yanling Zhang, also known as Jenny and I’m a product designer based in Seattle. My career has taken me across industries, allowing me to work on diverse design projects, gain a unique perspective, and develop a passion for solving real-world challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through my experience, I\u2019ve learned that creativity and user insights are essential in building designs that solve problems effectively and leave a meaningful impact. I focus on user needs, blending design with technology to create products that resonate with people and add value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity, for me, is about connecting the dots. From a young age, I learned to paint, and my experiences in art taught me to seek meaning and beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, I found myself drawn to the logical side of problem-solving. By combining aesthetics with understanding and context, I discovered I could create solutions that not only look good but also genuinely help people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Biomotivate, I lead the product design for an addiction treatment project. This role is crucial in transforming a complex medical dashboard into a user-friendly tool that enables researchers and therapists to monitor patient metrics like skin conductance, heart rate, and other critical indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project requires balancing complexity with simplicity to ensure that all stakeholders can easily access and interpret the data they need to make informed decisions. My role at Biomotivate has been central in setting the direction for this dashboard, from the initial design concept to testing and iteration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I\u2019m also a Product Designer at a video management software company. Here, I oversee initial design phases, research, and development for core product features. My role spans various responsibilities, from roadmap planning to hands-on design implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working across these fields has helped me quickly adapt to new contexts and use my design skills to drive impactful innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What’s your favorite part of the creative process and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, creativity is about making connections. It\u2019s about bringing together seemingly unrelated pieces of knowledge or experience to solve a problem from a fresh perspective. Creativity also means being brave enough to think differently and persistent enough to bring those ideas to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a ‘creative’ idea and\/or design? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A creative idea is one that efficiently uses available resources to address a problem directly. It should be both practical and impactful, taking a unique approach while remaining grounded in solving real needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
