Turn ambiguity into strategy. Drive growth with design.

Ten years in experience design — NetEase / Fliggy / Taobao Live. From 0→1 products to products used by tens of millions, I start from the user, name the real problem, and turn design into user value and business results.

I believe design is more than polishing experience. It is how business value gets named, felt, and grown.
