I am a User Experience & Product Designer with a cross-disciplinary background in design and architecture. I enjoy designing experiences and interactions between the physical and digital worlds. I strive to solve complex problems that support the need of people and our communities. Previously graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Yale University, I am currently working as a designer at Gensler. I am constantly in search of unique experience-making. My work focuses on forming spatial, social, and cultural contexts and human relationships.

Hi, I am Janet / Yichen.

Embracing ambiguity and turning challenges into opportunities for growth

I love learning, I am always curious about peoples’ perceptions about life, design, space, and the way they behave. This is how I am attracted to UX Design. Check out my design values here.

My many hobbies 

In my leisure time, I enjoy painting 🎨, baking πŸ₯§, reading πŸ“–, traveling with my camera πŸ“· , and coffee β˜•.

When I’m not working, you can probably find me at the gym πŸ‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ, in the kitchen πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ³, or on a trip 🚘.

Capturing the world
