Moonlit Design P1<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yuan Wu: Hi, I\u2019m Yuan Wu, a product designer with a deep passion for creating inclusive. Human-centered experiences\u2014especially in complex and traditionally underserved spaces. I was drawn to design by the realization that thoughtful, intentional solutions can address real problems for people who are often overlooked by conventional tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While working on Manor AI, I saw how small property management teams struggle with outdated, fragmented systems, and that motivated me to create solutions that feel intuitive, supportive. And genuinely helpful in their day-to-day work. To me, design is about reducing friction, building trust, and making the invisible feel seamless. And that kind of meaningful impact is what drives me every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerri Zhou: Hi, I\u2019m Gerri, a product designer based in Seattle who values bringing joy to everyday interactions and experiences. My love for design is deeply rooted in my childhood passion for creating toys. Watching people explore and find playful ways to interact with them sparked something special, each fun moment lighting up their eyes. That joy is what drives me: designing delightful interactions that people can truly enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jingfei Hu: My name is Jingfei, and my journey into design began while working as an installation engineer at a children\u2019s museum. Where I was inspired by the power of interactive experiences to spark curiosity and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Murphy Wang: Hey, I am Murphy(Muqing) Wang. I\u2019m a fine-art-trained designer who now paints with pixels. Redesigning healthcare tools taught me that inclusive. Accessible UX can ease real-world pain, and I\u2019ve carried that human focus from patient charts to property ledgers. We created Manor AI, the NY Product Design Awards-winning platform that erases the daily friction between landlords and tenants. Reimagining real estate through clear, caring AI agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QianQian Lin: Hi, I’m Qian, a product designer with a creative edge. I grew up as an art-loving kid, always drawn to visual storytelling and problem-solving. That passion naturally led me to design. What truly inspired me is seeing how thoughtful design. And technology can simplify complexity and make a meaningful impact on people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
