Profile: https://flows.cv/jiahuan

Product Designer with experience in UX research, UI design, and design systems, working across B2B and B2C SaaS products. I design web, mobile, and internal tools, with a strong focus on complex workflows, search experiences, and scalable systems.

Most recently at Alamy, I led end-to-end product design for customer-facing features and internal platforms, improving search UX, engagement metrics, and asset management workflows. I also contributed to design system improvements, accessibility, and mentored a junior designer.

I hold an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction Design and bring a research-driven, data-informed approach to solving complex problems. Skilled in Figma, prototyping, usability testing, cross-functional collaboration, and designing AI-adjacent and automation-enabled experiences.
