Ni hao!

I'm Yanwei Miao, my friends call me Miao (like a cat's meow). I'm a designer who focuses on making digital stuff easy and helpful for people.

I design things to improve lives and to make the world around us better.

My design journey kicked off when I was a kid, but my real adventure began when I decided to pursue a bachelor's in Industrial Design. After that, I wanted to dive deeper into the digital world, so I went for a master's in Interaction Design. That's where I really got into the nitty-gritty of digital design.

With a solid foundation in design, I've fully embraced design thinking and cultivated a user-centred mindset, it's been helpful during my 4-year gig as an Interaction Designer in a telecom company in Shenzhen. Working closely with awesome teams from different departments also broadened my perspective, pushing me to design with more structure and adaptability.

My curiosity about development led me back to university for another master's, this time in HCI. Here, I got hands-on with frontend development in some cool projects. I'm constantly learning and working towards being a "full-stacker". I genuinely enjoy working and researching in this field, and strive to make my designs meaningful to make the world a little better!
