[About]

[About me]

Hey! I’m Yingzhen Cao, a Product and UX Designer with experience across B2B, B2C, and AI-driven products. I specialize in bringing structure to complexity, turning ambiguous problems into clear, intuitive experiences.
I’m drawn to the dynamics between people and systems — always digging past the obvious to uncover what truly needs fixing.
Outside of work, I enjoy sewing. To me, design is a lot like sewing: it takes creativity, patience, and careful precision to weave clarity into every detail.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

-Leonardo da Vinci
