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


My name is Yingxiao Ouyang, a product designer with six 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 equip the finance industry with advanced data analytics tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I spent three years on the Walmart Supply Chain team, leading the design of warehouse applications to support associates in making data-driven decisions. I graduated from Georgia Tech’s MSHCI and Industrial Design programs with a focus on human-centered design. My core expertise lies in turning complex requirements into simple, user-friendly, and impactful solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Design challenges the status quo by delivering what people truly need. I enjoy building creative solutions, understanding people’s 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 need and what the product team can build. Even a small success in this field fuels my passion and motivates me to continue exploring and innovating in design!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/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

I am building data products for the Mastercard Services organization, targeting multiple personas such as Destination Marketing Officers, Retail 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 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

Q4. What does \u201cdesign\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design is a process that focuses on finding the next growth opportunity from the users’ perspective. It allows our team to tailor advanced data and analytics technology to meet users’ needs, rather than simply building what is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through mockups and prototypes, all stakeholders can experience the products from the users’ point of view. By elevating the service, the product team increases its chances of winning more customers and driving greater revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. What\u2019s your favorite kind of design and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite design is the Nintendo Switch, which is a great example of understanding what people want. The company\u2019s goal is not to use the latest technology, but to deliver a unique and advanced experience for gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give users a better chopping experience, the engineering team implemented multiple ways of chopping from different angles, offering users unprecedented flexibility. A comment from a user perfectly captures their design principle: \u201cEven if I forget what I want, Nintendo always remembers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
