# Julie Y. > Empower, Connect, Inspire. | Product & Design Leader | Consumer AI, Healthcare, Fintech, Entertainment | 0→1 + Scalable Systems Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/juliey1 Hey, I’m Julie — a hands-on UX Designer and Product Leader who is passionate about building products that Empower, Connect, and Inspire. I have been a part of core teams creating impactful experiences across consumer AI, healthcare, entertainment, and fintech domains. I thrive in both 0→1 explorative design and scaling products through systematic, human-centered design. Currently, I am Principal Product Designer at an early-stage AI startup. I’ve driven MVPs from concept to launch while collaborating closely with engineering and leadership. I bring a unique blend of experiences to the table: two Bachelor of Science degrees from Tufts University in Computer Science and Engineering Psychology / Human Factors; Product Management and UX Research at PayPal; and end-to-end product design at startups and enterprise scale. My alter ago is music producer and DJ — a creative outlet that’s taught me about storytelling, community, and creating immersive experiences. Whether on stage or in product, my goal is the same: to inspire, empower, and design experiences that bring people “home” to their best selves. Let’s connect to explore how we can create impactful, delightful experiences together — on or off the stage. ## Work Experience ### Principal Product Designer @ Stealth AI Startup Jan 2025 – Present Leadership, product execution, strategy, and design at stealth mode AI company. ### UX Designer @ Stealth AI Startup Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Palo Alto, California, United States ### Yeung Creative @ Unknown Jan 2024 – Present • Conduct research, discover, and design accessible solutions to empower and support Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivors and caregivers in the highly-complicated recovery journey. •Bridge the gap between design and development to create functional and user-friendly interfaces. ### UX Designer @ CentralSquare Technologies Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 • Drove product vision and led end-to-end design for various enterprise SaaS healthcare, property tax, and cloud-based applications, shaping strategic direction and enhancing user experiences across critical systems. • Championed user-centric design for over 4 million healthcare users in Ontario, Canada, streamlining access to vital information and improving overall user satisfaction. • Led data-driven design initiatives by conducting in-depth user research, shaping the MVP of a cloud-based application.
