Portrait of Mengying

A UX designer & researcher
who starts with people and learns by making, an architect's habit I now bring to AI products.

I used to design how people interact with space.
Now I design how they interact with interfaces.

Home, where time seems to pause. A quiet place I carry with me, and the reason I design for people, not just products.
