Hi there, I’m Wenxin, typically go by Xin!

As a product designer and UX researcher,

I’m obsessed with crafting meaningful experiences for users. I aim to work in collaborative and interdisciplinary environments where I can apply my product design knowledge to develop innovative solutions that provide experience while aligning users' and stakeholders' goals.

Drawing from 5 years of industry experience,

I have extensive knowledge in learning experience design, product research, and cross-functional collaboration. Over the years of growing as a designer, I’ve become adept in UX research methodologies, ideation, quick prototyping, and agile development.
